Compiles and prepares a Compatibility Mode BASIC/V program. HP Business BASIC/V is not part of the 900 Series HP 3000 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and must be purchased separately.
BASICPREP [commandfile][,[progfile][,listfile]]
commandfile Actual file designator of the input file from which the compiler commands are read. This can be any ASCII file. Formal file designator is BSCTEXT. Default is $STDINX. progfile Actual file designator of the program file on which the prepared program segments are written. When progfile is omitted, the MPE V/E Segmenter creates the program file, which will reside in the temporary file domain as $OLDPASS. If you do create your own program file, you must do so in one of two ways o Using the MPE/iX BUILD command, and specifying a file code of 1029 or PROG and a numextents value of 1. This file is then used by the PREP command. o Specifying a nonexistent file in the progfile parameter, in which case a temporary job file of the correct size and type is created. listfile Actual file designator of the file to which the listing is written. This can be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is BSCLIST. Default is $STDLIST.
The formal file designators used in this command (BSCTEXT 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 MPE/iX FILE command. 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 RESUME continues the execution.
The BASICPREP command compiles and prepares a program for execution from a fastsave file generated by the BASIC/V interpreter. If you omit the progfile parameter, the prepared program segments are stored in the system-defined temporary file $OLDPASS. If you want to save the prepared program in a file other than $OLDPASS, you may either create a file and specify its file name on the BASICPREP command line, or specify a nonexistent progfile. A program that you have compiled and prepared with the BASICPREP command may be executed with the MPE/iX RUN command.
To compile and prepare a program named MYPROG from the BASIC/V fastsave file named MYCOMDS, with listing directed to the standard list device, enter BASICPREP,MYCOMDS The file MYPROG is an ASCII file that contains the following BASIC/V compiler commands $CONTROL USLINIT SOURCE ** Initializes USL and lists ** ** program. ** $COMPILE MYPROG ** Compiles fastsave program. ** $EXIT ** Exits from compiler. ** The example above initializes the USL and lists the program, compiles the fastsave program MYPROG, and then exits from the compiler.
