Compiles, prepares, and executes an HP Business BASIC/V program in compatibility mode. HP Business BASIC/V is not part of the HP 3000 Series 900 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and must be purchased separately.

Syntax

BBASICGO infile [ ,listfile]

Parameters

infile

Actual file designator of the BSAVE file containing the HP Business BASIC/V program to be compiled. Formal file designator is BBCIN.

listfile

Actual file designator of the file to which the program listing is written. This can be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is BBCLIST. Default is $STDLIST.

NOTE: The formal file designators used in this command (BBCIN and BBCLIST) cannot be backreferenced as actual file designators in the command parameter list. Refer to the "Implicit FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the FILE command.

Operation Notes

This command compiles, prepares, and executes a program from a BSAVE file created by the HP Business BASIC/V interpreter. This enables the program to run faster than it would if it were executed by the interpreter.

You may create a BSAVE program file within the HP Business BASIC/V interpreter after it is saved by using the HP Business BASIC/V interpreter >SAVE filename command. The program then can be compiled, prepared, and executed with the BBASICGO command.

Use

This command may be issued from a session, job, or program. It may not be used in BREAK. Pressing Break suspends the execution of this command. Entering the RESUME command continues the execution.

Example

To compile, prepare, and execute the HP Business BASIC/V program MYPROG and send the listing to the disk file LISTFL, enter:

  BBASICGO MYPROG,LISTFL
