To complete the installation of HP ALLBASE/4GL some additional steps must be performed.

These installation procedures must be completed on a terminal other than the system console. HP ALLBASE/4GL cannot be run on the system console.

To install new HP ALLBASE/4GL systems

To complete the installation of the HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer system or the HP ALLBASE/4GL Run-Time Environment, perform the following steps after the AUTOINST utility has run.

  1. Create the account in which you want to use HP ALLBASE/4GL. You can select any name for the account, but we suggest that you use the name HP4GL for the HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer System, and HP4GLR for the HP ALLBASE/4GL Run-Time Environment.

    Developer

      :HELLO MANAGER.SYS
    
      :NEWACCT HP4GL,MGR;PASS=password;CAP=AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA,PH
    

    or

    Run-Time

       :HELLO MANAGER.SYS
    
       :NEWACCT HP4GLR,MGR;PASS=password;CAP=AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA,PH
    
     
  2. Log on to the new account and execute the following command file:

    Developer

        :HELLO MGR.HP4GL
    
        :HP4BLD.HP4GL.SYS
    

    or

    Run-Time

        :HELLO MGR.HP4GLR
    
        :HP4BLDR.HP4GLR.SYS
    

    HP4BLD (or HP4BLDR) will create several groups within the account. After the groups are created, the utility copies several files from the SYS account into the newly created groups.

To install the HP ALLBASE/4GL environment

The default HP ALLBASE/4GL installation assumes that the MPE/iX system is configured to support the "American" language as well as the "native computer" language. Refer to the Localizing and Customizing Systems Information Reference Manual (32650-90046) for more information on localization on your systems.

To run HP ALLBASE/4GL on a terminal that supports the line-drawing character set, set the MPE/iX variable HP4TERM as follows:

    :SETVAR HP4TERM "HPL"

Refer to the HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer Administration Manual (30601-64001) or the HP ALLBASE/4GL Run-Time Administration Manual (30602-64001) for further information on setting up the HP ALLBASE/4GL environment.

HP ALLBASE/4GL is now ready to be run.
