Compiles, links, and executes an HP Business BASIC/XL program. HP Business BASIC/XL is not part of the HP 3000 Series 900 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and must be purchased separately. (Native Mode)

Syntax

BBXLGO textfile [ ,[ listfile] ] [ ;XL=xllist]
NOTE: This command follows the optional MPE/iX command line Syntax. Refer to "Optional Format for MPE/iX Commands" at the beginning of this chapter.

Parameters

textfile

Actual file designator of the BASIC SAVE file (file code = 1247 or BSVXL) containing the HP Business BASIC/XL 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.

xllist

A quoted list of the executable libraries which is searched when resolving external procedure references when the program is loaded.

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 a BASIC SAVE file created by the HP Business BASIC/XL interpreter. The compiled program executes significantly faster than the corresponding interpreted version.

A BASIC SAVE program file is created from within the HP Business BASIC/XL interpreter by using the HP Business BASIC/XL >SAVE filename command. The program then can be compiled, linked, and executed with the BBXLGO command.

NOTE: This command is implemented as a command file. If you set the HPPATH variable to null (SETVAR ""), the command file is not executed, and the command fails.

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, link, and execute the HP Business BASIC/XL program MYPROG and direct the listing to the disk file LISTFL, enter:

  BBXLGO MYPROG,LISTFL
