BBXLLK

Compiles and links 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

BBXLLK textfile [ ,[ progfile] [ ,listfile] ]




	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 (filecode 1247 or BSVXL) containing the HP Business BASIC/XL program to be compiled. Formal file designator is BBCIN.
progfile: Actual file designator of the object file to which the Link Editor writes the linked program. If you do not specify progfile, the default is $NEWPASS, which is closed as $OLDPASS.
listfile: Actual file designator of the file on which the program listing is written. This can be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is BBCLIST. If you do not specify listfile, the 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. For further information, refer to the "Implicit FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the `FILE` command.

Operation Notes

The BBXLLK command compiles and links a source program stored in a BASIC SAVE file generated by the HP Business BASIC/XL interpreter. If the progfile parameter is omitted, the linked program is written to the systemcdefined temporary file $OLDPASS. To save the linked program in a file other than $OLDPASS, specify the file name on the BBXLLK command line.

Create a BASIC SAVE program file from within the HP Business BASIC/XL interpreter, by using the HP Business BASIC/XL >SAVE filename command. The program may be compiled and linked with the BBXLLK command and executed with the MPE/iX RUN 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 and link a source program stored in the HP Business BASIC/XL BASIC SAVE file named MYSCR to the program file named MYPROG, and send the listing to the standard list device, enter:

BBXLLK MYSCR,MYPROG
