BBXLGO

     Compiles, links, and executes an HP Business BASIC/XL
     program. HP Business BASIC/XL is not part of the 900
     Series HP 3000 Computer System Fundamental Operating
     Software and must be purchased separately.  (NM)

SYNTAX

     BBXLGO textfile[,[listfile]][;XL=xllist]

NOTE

This command follows the more flexible MPE/iX command line syntax.

PARAMETERS

textfile            Actual file designator of the BASIC SAVE file (file
                    code=1247 or BSVXL) containing the HP BUSINESS
                    BASIC/XL program to be compiled.  Formal file
                    designator is BBCIN.

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 BBCLIST.
                    Default is $STDLIST.

xllist              A quoted list of the executable libraries that are
                    searched when resolving external procedure
                    references when the program is loaded.

NOTE

The formal file designators used in this command (BBCIN and BBCLIST)
cannot be backreferenced as actual file designators in the command
parameter list.  Refer to the "IMPLICIT FILE COMMANDS FOR SUBSYSTEMS"
discussion of the MPE/iX FILE command.

OPERATION

     This command compiles a BASIC SAVE file created by the
     BASIC/XL interpreter, links the object code file, and
     executes the program file.  The compiled program executes
     significantly faster than the corresponding interpreted
     version.

     A BASIC SAVE program file is created from within the
     BASIC/XL interpreter by using the BASIC/XL interpreter
     command >SAVE filename.  The program then can be compiled,
     linked, and executed with the BBXLGO command.

     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.

EXAMPLE(S)

     To compile, link, and execute the BASIC/XL source program
     saved in the file named MYPROG and direct the listing to
     the disk file LISTFL, enter:

     BBXLGO MYPROG,LISTFL

NOTE

This command is implemented as a command file.  If you set the HPPATH
variable to null (SETVAR HPPATH ""), the command file will not be
executed, and the command will fail.
