PASCALPREP
PASCALPREP
Compiles and prepares 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 PASXLLK.
Syntax
PASCALPREP[ textfile][,progfile][,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.
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.
progfile Actual file designator of the program file to which the prepared program
segments are written. When progfile is omitted, the MPE segmenter
creates the program file, which is stored in the temporary file domain as
$OLDPASS. If you do create your own program file, you must do so in one of
two ways:
• By 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.
• By specifying a nonexistent file in the progfile parameter, in which case
a job/session temporary file of the correct size and type is created.
listfile 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.
quotedstring 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 programming language to pass
