PASCALGO
PASCALGO
Compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode Pascal/V program. Pascal/V is not part of the HP 3000 Series 900 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and must be purchased separately. The native mode equivalent of this command is
PASXLGO
.
Syntax
PASCALGO
[
textfile
] [ ,
listfile
] [ ;INFO=
quotedstring
]
Parameters
textfile
Actual file designator of the input file from which the source program is read. This can be any ASCII input file. Formal file designator is
PASTEXT
.
Default is
$STDIN
.
$STDIN
is the current input device, usually your terminal.
listfile quotedstring
PASTEXT
cannot be backreferenced as an actual file designator in the command parameter list. For further information, refer to the "Implicit
FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the
FILE
command.
Actual file designator of the file to which the program listing is written.
This can be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is
PASLIST
.
Default is
$STDLIST
.
$STDLIST
is usually your terminal if you are running Pascal/V interactively, or the printer if you are running a batch job.
PASLIST
cannot be backreferenced as an actual file designator in the command parameter list. For further information, refer to the "Implicit
FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the
FILE
command.
A sequence of characters between two single quotation marks
(apostrophes) or between two double quotation marks. You may use the delimiter as part of the string so long as the delimiter appears twice. Any occurrence of two single or two double quotation marks in a row is considered part of the string, and, therefore, not the terminating delimiter.
INFO=
quotedstring
is used in the Pascal/V programming language to pass initial compiler options to a program. Pascal/V brackets the
quotedstring
with dollar signs and places it before the first line of source code in the text file.
Operation Notes
The
PASCALGO
command compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode Pascal/V program. If
textfile
is omitted, MPE/iX expects input from your standard input device. If you do not specify
listfile
, MPE/iX sends the program listing to the formal file designator
PASLIST
(default is
$STDLIST
).

Command Definitions P-R
PASCALGO
The USL file created during the compilation is the system-defined temporary file
$OLDPASS
, which is passed directly to the MPE segmenter. It can only be accessed if you do not use the default for
progfile
. This is because the segmenter also uses
$OLDPASS
to store the prepared program segments, overwriting any existing temporary file of the same name.
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, prepare, and execute a Pascal/V program entered from your standard input device, with the program listing sent to your standard list device, enter:
PASCALGO
To compile, prepare, and execute a Pascal/V program from the disk file
PASCSRC
and send the program listing to the file
LISTFILE
, enter:
PASCALGO PASCSRC,LISTFILE
