Compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode Pascal/V program. Pascal/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 PASXLGO.

Syntax

PASCALGO [textfile] [,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 PASTEXT. Default is $STDIN. $STDIN is the current input device, usually your terminal.

PASTEXT cannot be backreferenced as an actual file designator in the command parameter list. For further information, refer to the "Implicit FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the FILE command.

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 PASLIST. Default is $STDLIST. $STDLIST is usually your terminal if you are running Pascal/V interactively, or the printer if you are running a batch job.

PASLIST cannot be backreferenced as an actual file designator in the command parameter list. For further information, refer to the "Implicit FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the FILE command.

quotedstring

A sequence of characters between two single quotation marks (apostrophes) or between two double quotation marks. 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.

INFO=quotedstring is used in the Pascal/V programming language to pass initial compiler options to a program. Pascal/V brackets the quotedstring with dollar signs and places it before the first line of source code in the text file.

Operation Notes

The PASCALGO command compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode Pascal/V program. If textfile is omitted, MPE/iX expects input from your standard input device. If you do not specify listfile, MPE/iX sends the program listing to the formal file designator PASLIST (default is $STDLIST).

The USL file created during the compilation is the system-defined temporary file $OLDPASS, which is passed directly to the MPE segmenter. It can only be accessed if you do not use the default for progfile. This is because the segmenter also uses $OLDPASS to store the prepared program segments, overwriting any existing temporary file of the same name.

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

To compile, prepare, and execute a Pascal/V program entered from your standard input device, with the program listing sent to your standard list device, enter:

  PASCALGO

To compile, prepare, and execute a Pascal/V program from the disk file PASCSRC and send the program listing to the file LISTFILE, enter:

  PASCALGO PASCSRC,LISTFILE
