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

Syntax

PASXLGO [textfile] [,[listfile] [,[libfile]]] [;INFO=quotedstring]

Parameters

textfile

The name of the text file that contains the source code to be compiled. This is an ASCII file that you prepare with an editor such as EDIT/V. The formal file designator is PASTEXT.

If you are running HP Pascal/iX from your terminal, you will probably specify a disk textfile. If you do not specify textfile, then the default file is $STDIN. $STDIN is the current input device, usually your terminal.

When textfile is your terminal, you can enter source code interactively in response to the > prompt. When you have entered all the source code, type a colon (:) in response to the > prompt to end the interactive input.

The source code to be compiled can be a program or a list of modules.

listfile

The name of the file on which the compiler writes the program listing. It can be any ASCII file. The default is $STDLIST. $STDLIST is usually the terminal if you are running HP Pascal/iX interactively, or the printer if you are running a batch job. The formal file designator is PASLIST.

If your terminal is both textfile and listfile, the compiler does not write the program listing on the terminal.

If listfile is $NULL or a file other than $STDLIST, the compiler displays on $STDLIST those lines that contain errors.

libfile

The name of the HP Pascal/iX library file that the compiler searches if a search path is not specified with the compiler option SEARCH. The default is PASLIB in your group and account.

quotedstring

A string of no more than 132 characters (including the single or double quotation marks that enclose it).

The quotedstring string is used in the HP Pascal/iX programming language to pass initial compiler options to the compiler. HP Pascal/iX brackets the quotedstring string with dollar signs ($) and places the string before the first line of source code in the text file.

NOTE: The formal file designators used in this command (PASTEXT, PASLIB, and PASLIST) 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 PASXLGO command compiles, links, and executes an HP Pascal/iX program. If textfile is omitted, the compiler expects input from your standard input device. If you do not specify listfile, the compiler sends the program listing to the formal file designator PASLIST (default is $STDLIST).

The object file created during compilation is a system-defined temporary file, $NEWPASS, which is passed directly to the Link Editor as $OLDPASS. The Link Editor purges the object file and writes the linked program to $OLDPASS, which is then executed and may be executed repeatedly.

NOTE: This command is implemented as a command file. If you set the HPPATH variable to null (SETVAR HPPATH ""), 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.

Examples

To compile, link, and execute an HP Pascal/iX program entered from your standard input device, with the program listing sent to your standard list device, enter:

  PASXLGO

To compile, link, and execute an HP Pascal/iX program from the disk file SOURCE and send the program listing to the file LISTFILE, enter:

  PASXLGO SOURCE,LISTFILE
