Executes any program or command file. Its value lies in preventing
any possible confusion when the name of the program or command file
you want to execute is identical to the name of a built-in MPE/iX
command or UDC command name. (Native Mode)
Syntax |
 |
XEQ filename [parameterlist] *
or
XEQ filename [;INFO=quotedstring] [;PARM=parmvalue] **
* for command files
** for program files |
Parameters |
|
- filename
The actual file name of the command file or program
file to be executed. The search path (HPPATH)
is used if filename is not qualified.
- parameterlist
The list of parameters passed to filename
when executing a command file. This list corresponds to the PARM
line(s) of the command file you intend to execute.
- quotedstring
A parameter string for those program files that
accept a parameter string.
- parmvalue
A parameter for a program file to be executed.
Operation Notes |
|
This command executes filename, which
may be a command file or a program file. XEQ
uses the search path. XEQ
is needed only when filename references an
existing, built-in MPE/iX command or a UDC command, but it may be
used for any executable file.
Use |
|
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or
in BREAK. Whether or not the command is breakable depends upon what
is being executed at the time you press Break.
Command files may terminate or suspend execution, unless they specify
OPTION NOBREAK.
Example |
|
To execute a command file named FCOPY.PUB.MYACCT,
enter:
Because
FCOPY references
an existing, built-in MPE/iX command, failing to use XEQ
results in running FCOPY.
That happens because FCOPY
is found in the command directory and is executed, and the command
search terminates. XEQ
follows the same searching logic used for command files and implied
RUN.
