You may also enter commands and statements to the HP Business
BASIC/XL interpreter by using input files that you have stored on
disk. Files created using the editor must be kept with the UNN
(unnumbered) option of the editor's KEEP
command. In this example, HP Business BASIC/XL interpreter commands
and statements are entered from the command file MYCOMDS.
The data that the program uses is stored in the input file MYDATA.
The program listing and output are written to the file MYLIST.
BBXL MYCOMDS,MYDATA,MYLIST |
If you have compiled a number of library procedures into an
executable library named MYXL.MYGRP.MYACCT
and wish to reference these in a program in the interpreter, use:
BBXL XL='MYXL.MYGRP.MYACCT' |
Appropriate EXTERNAL and/or INTRINSIC statements in your program
are used to define the formal parameters, and an alias, if required,
for the external procedure in the executable library.
