COMMUNICATOR 3000/XL Release 1.2, Version A.20.10

RPG/XL Initial Release 

by Don Jenkins--Data & Languages Division 

RPG/XL is the Native Mode compiler and run-time library for the RPG
language, for use on the commercial Spectrum family of computers.  It is
designed to realize the performance benefits of the HP-PA architecture.
With minor differences (refer to the HP RPG Programmer's Guide, P/N
30318-60001, Appendix A) it is a direct replacement for the RPG/V
compiler.  The subsystems provided with RPG/XL are the same as those
provided with RPG/V, and are operated in identically the same manner.
These are:

 *  RPGCOPY - Allows use of INCLUDE files in RPG programs.
 *  RPGINIT - Builds and initializes LDAFILE and RPGUDATE files.
 *  RISE - The RPG Interactive Screen Editor.
 *  XSORT - Allows selective sorting of data files.
 *  SIGEDITOR - Builds forms files for the RPG Screen Interface.

A new set of commands for executing the compiler are also provided.
These are:

 *  RPGXL - Corresponds to RPG.
 *  RPGXLLK - Corresponds to RPGPREP.
 *  RPGXLGO - Corresponds to RPGGO.

A message catalog is also used with both the compiler and run-time
library for all messages that the user may see.  This may be easily
replaced by catalogs for other languages.

The following three new manuals are also available with this product:

 *  HP RPG/XL Programmer's Guide (P/N 30318-60001)
 *  HP RPG/XL Reference Manual (P/N 30318-60002)
 *  HP RPG/XL Utilities Reference Manual (P/N 30318-60003)
