The CI command - Access to the MPE/iX command interpreter (CI).

Syntax


   : [ command ]
The HPCICOMMAND intrinsic is used to access the MPE/iX command interpreter (CI).

Parameters

command

The command to execute via the CI. If no command is given, a new version (new process) of the CI is created.

Examples


   $nmdebug > :showtime
   WED, JAN 8, 1986, 1:32 PM
The above is typical use of the CI command. 

   $nmdebug > :file t;dev=tape
See the note below.

Limitations, Restrictions

Semicolons normally separate commands for System Debug. When the ":" command is entered at the System Debug prompt, however, the entire user command line is passed to the CI. One exception is within macro bodies, where the command line is split at the semicolons.

Every time this command is used, Debug assumes ownership of the Control-Y handler (even if it already owns it).
