Compiles a compatibility mode FORTRAN 77/V program. FORTRAN 77/V is not part of the HP 3000 Series 900 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and must be purchased separately. The native mode equivalent of this command is FTNXL.

Syntax

FTN [textfile] [,[uslfile] [,[listfile]]] [;INFO=quotedstring]

Parameters

textfile

Actual file designator of the input file from which the source program is read. This can be any ASCII input file. Formal file designator is FTNTEXT. Default is $STDIN.

uslfile

Actual file designator of the USL file to which the object code is stored, which can be any binary output file with a file code of USL or 1024. Its formal file designator is FTNUSL. If the uslfile parameter is omitted, the object code is saved to the temporary file $OLDPASS. If entered, this parameter indicates that the USL file was created in one of four ways:

  • By using the MPE/iX SAVE command to save the default USL file $OLDPASS, created during a previous compilation.

  • By building the USL with the segmenter -BUILDUSL command. Refer to the MPE Segmenter Reference Manual (30000-90011).

  • By creating a new USL file with the MPE/iX BUILD command and specifying a file code of USL or 1024.

  • By specifying a nonexistent uslfile parameter, thereby creating a permanent file of the correct size and type.

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 FTNLIST. Default is $STDLIST.

quotedstring

A sequence of characters between two single quotation marks or between two double quotation marks that specify compiler options. You may use the delimiter as part of the string so long as the delimiter appears twice. Any occurrence of two single or two double quotation marks in a row, is considered part of the string, and, therefore, not the terminating delimiter.

Operation Notes

The FTN command compiles a compatibility mode HP FORTRAN 77/V program and stores the object code in a user subprogram library (USL) file on disk. If textfile is not specified, MPE/iX expects the source program to be entered from your standard input device. If you do not specify listfile, MPE/iX sends the program listing to your standard list device and identifies it by the formal file designator, FTNLIST.

If you create the USL prior to compilation, you must specify a file code of USL or 1024. If you omit the uslfile parameter, the object code is saved in the temporary file domain as $OLDPASS. To keep it as a permanent file, you must save $OLDPASS under another name.

You cannot backreference the formal file designators used in this command (FTNTEXT, FTNUSL, and FTNLIST) 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.

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.

Examples

The following example compiles an HP FORTRAN 77/V program entered from your standard input device and stores the object program in the USL file $OLDPASS. The listing is then sent to your standard list device.

 FTN

The next example compiles an HP FORTRAN 77 program contained in the disk file FORTSRC, and stores the object program in the USL file FORTOBJ. The program listing is stored in the disk file LISTFILE:

 BUILD FORTOBJ;CODE=USL
FTN FORTSRC,FORTOBJ,LISTFILE
