BASICOMP
BASICOMP
Compiles a compatibility mode BASIC/V program. BASIC/V is not part of the HP 3000
Series 900 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and must be purchased separately.
Syntax
BASICOMP[
commandfile
] [ ,[
uslfile
] [ ,
listfile
] ]
Parameters
commandfile
Actual file designator of the input file from which the BASIC/V compiler commands are read. This can be any ASCII input file. Formal file designator is
BSCTEXT
. Default is
$STDINX
.
uslfile
Actual file designator of the user subprogram library (USL) file to which the object code is written, which can be any binary output file with a file code of
USL
or
1024
. Its formal file designator is
BSCUSL
. If the uslfile parameter is omitted, the object code is saved to the temporary file
$OLDPASS
. If entered, this parameter specifies that the file was created in one of four ways:
listfile
• By using the
SAVE
command to save the default USL file
$OLDPASS
, created by a previous compilation.
• By building the USL with the MPE segmenter command
BUILDUSL
.
Refer to the MPE Segmenter Reference Manual (30000-90011).
• By creating a new USL file with the MPE/iX
BUILD
command and a file code of
USL
or
1024
.
• By specifying a nonexistent uslfile parameter, thereby creating a permanent file of the correct size and type.
Actual file designator of the file on which the program listing is written.
This can be any ASCII output file. Formal designator is
BSCLIST
. Default is
$STDLIST
.
NOTE
The formal file designators used in this command (
BSCTEXT
,
BSCUSL
, and
BSCLIST
) 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
BASICOMP
command compiles a program from a "fastsave" file generated by the
BASIC/V interpreter. If a USL file is not specified, the BASIC/V compiler stores the object code in the default systemcdefined temporary file
$OLDPASS
, as shown in the second
Chapter 2 89
Command Definitions A-B
BASICOMP
example, below. You may, however, build a USL file in the permanent file domain, then direct the BASIC/V compiler to store the object code in this file by naming the USL file in the
BASICOMP
command line. Refer to "Examples."
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 the BASIC/V program
MYPROG
onto the USL named
OBJECT
, enter:
BUILD OBJECT;CODE=USL
BASICOMP, OBJECT
$CONTROL USLINIT
$COMPILE MYPROG
$EXIT
The above example builds the USL file, begins execution of the BASIC/V compiler and specifies the USL named
OBJECT
, initializes the USL, compiles the fastsave program named
MYPROG
, and then exits from the compiler.
If you do not choose to build a USL file, the
BASICOMP
command compiles your program and stores the object code in the default USL file
$OLDPASS
.
BASICOMP
$COMPILE MYRUN
$EXIT
The above example begins execution of the BASIC/V compiler, accepts commands from
$STDINX
, and specifies
$OLDPASS
the USL output and
$STDLIST
for listing output. It compiles from the fastsave file named
MYRUN
into a USL named
$OLDPASS
, and then exits from the BASIC/V compiler.
To run your program, enter:
PREPRUN $OLDPASS
