COB85XLK
COMPILES AND LINKS AN HP COBOL II/iX PROGRAM USING THE 1985
ANSI STANDARD ENTRY POINT. HP COBOL II/iX IS NOT PART OF
THE 900 SERIES HP 3000 COMPUTER SYSTEM FUNDAMENTAL OPERATING
SOFTWARE AND MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. THIS COMMAND IS
RECOGNIZED ONLY IF HP COBOL II/iX IS INSTALLED ON YOUR
SYSTEM. (NM)
THIS COMMAND FOLLOWS THE MORE FLEXIBLE MPE/iX COMMAND LINE SYNTAX.
COB85XLK [TEXTFILE][,[PROGFILE][,[LISTFILE]
[,[MASTERFILE][,NEWFILE]]]]
[;INFO=QUOTEDSTRING]
[;WSKP=WORKSPACENAME]
[;XDB=XDBFILENAME]
TEXTFILE THE NAME OF THE FILE THAT CONTAINS THE SOURCE CODE
THAT IS TO BE COMPILED. THIS CAN BE ANY ASCII OR
TOOLSET ACCESS METHOD (TSAM) FILE. THE FORMAL FILE
DESIGNATOR IS COBTEXT.
IF YOU ARE RUNNING HP COBOL II/iX FROM YOUR
TERMINAL, YOU WILL PROBABLY SPECIFY A DISK TEXTFILE.
IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY TEXTFILE, THE DEFAULT FILE IS
$STDIN. $STDIN IS THE CURRENT INPUT DEVICE, USUALLY
YOUR TERMINAL.
PROGFILE THE NAME OF THE OBJECT FILE TO WHICH THE LINKEDITOR
WRITES THE LINKED PROGRAM. IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY
PROGFILE, THE DEFAULT IS $NEWPASS.
LISTFILE THE NAME OF THE FILE TO WHICH THE COMPILER WRITES
THE PROGRAM LISTING. THIS CAN BE ANY ASCII FILE.
THE FORMAL FILE DESIGNATOR IS COBLIST. IF YOU DO
NOT SPECIFY LISTFILE, THE DEFAULT IS $STDLIST.
$STDLIST IS USUALLY THE TERMINAL IN A SESSION OR THE
PRINTER IN A BATCH JOB.
MASTERFILE ACTUAL FILE DESIGNATOR OF THE FILE WHICH IS MERGED
AGAINST TEXTFILE TO PRODUCE A COMPOSITE SOURCE.
THIS CAN BE ANY ASCII INPUT FILE. FORMAL FILE
DESIGNATOR IS COBMAST. DEFAULT IS THAT THE MASTER
FILE IS NOT READ; INPUT IS READ FROM TEXTFILE, OR
FROM $STDIN IF TEXTFILE IS NOT SPECIFIED.
NEWFILE ACTUAL FILE DESIGNATOR OF THE FILE CREATED BY
MERGING TEXTFILE AND MASTERFILE. THIS CAN BE ANY
ASCII OUTPUT FILE. FORMAL FILE DESIGNATOR IS
COBNEW. DEFAULT IS THAT NO FILE IS WRITTEN.
QUOTEDSTRING A PARAMETER SPECIFYING COMPILE TIME OPTIONS
FOR THE COMPILER. IT IS A QUOTED STRING OF NO MORE
THAN 255 CHARACTERS (INCLUDING THE SINGLE OR DOUBLE
QUOTE MARKS THAT ENCLOSE IT).
THE QUOTEDSTRING STRING MAY BE USED TO PASS $
(DOLLAR SIGN) COMMANDS TO THE COMPILER
"$COMMAND1$COMMAND2$COMMAND3...." THE $ MUST BE THE
FIRST CHARACTER IN THE STRING, AND IT MUST BE USED
TO SEPARATE MULTIPLE COMMANDS. YOU MAY EXTEND THE
QUOTEDSTRING STRING OVER MORE THAN ONE PHYSICAL LINE
BY MAKING AN AMPERSAND (&) THE LAST CHARACTER OF ONE
LINE AND CONTINUING THE QUOTEDSTRING STRING ONTO THE
NEXT PHYSICAL LINE.
EACH $ COMMAND IS LIMITED IN LENGTH TO THE SAME SIZE
AS IN THE SOURCE FILE.
COB85XLK SALARIES,SALPRG;INFO="$CONTROL &
BOUNDS,MAP,VERBS$SET &$X9=ON"
COB85XLK ACCOUNTS;INFO="$DEFINE %A=5#"
WORKSPACENAME THIS PARAMETER IS THE ACTUAL FILE DESIGNATOR OF AN
HPTOOLSET WORKSPACE USED WITH HPTOOLSET. THE FORMAL
FILE DESIGNATOR IS COBWKSP.
XDBFILENAME ACTUAL FILE DESIGNATOR FOR THE FILE TO BE USED BY
XDB. THIS WILL BE A PERMANENT FILE CREATED BY THE
COMPILER THAT CONTAINS THE LISTING OF THE SOURCE
FILES. THE FORMAL FILE DESIGNATOR IS COBXDB.
IF THIS FILE EXISTS, IT MUST BE IN A SPECIAL
FORMAT CREATED BY A PREVIOUS COMPILE USING
THIS OPTION. IN THIS CASE, IT IS FIRST
PURGED. IF THE FILE IS OF THE WRONG TYPE,
THE COMPILE IS NOT ATTEMPTED. THE USER MUST
THEN USE A DIFFERENT NAME OR PURGE THE FILE.
ONCE THE FILE IS CREATED, XDB EXPECTS THE
FULLY QUALIFIED NAME OF THE FILE TO BE
UNCHANGED. A FILE EQUATION COULD BE USED IF
THE FILE IS RENAMED.
THE FORMAL FILE DESIGNATORS USED IN THIS COMMAND (COBTEXT, COBOBJ, COBLIST, COBMAST, COBNEW, AND COBWKSP, COBXDB) CANNOT BE BACKREFERENCED AS ACTUAL FILE DESIGNATORS IN THE COMMAND PARAMETER LIST. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, REFER TO THE SUBENTRY IMPLICIT OF THE FILE ENTRY IN THE HELP FACILITY. THIS COMMAND MAY BE ISSUED FROM A SESSION OR A JOB, BUT NOT IN BREAK OR FROM A PROGRAM. PRESSING [BREAK] SUSPENDS THE EXECUTION OF THIS COMMAND. ENTERING RESUME CONTINUES THE EXECUTION.
THE COB85XLK COMMAND COMPILES AND LINKS AN HP COBOL II/iX
PROGRAM INTO A DISK FILE. IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY TEXTFILE,
HP COBOL II/iX EXPECTS YOUR INPUT FROM YOUR STANDARD INPUT
DEVICE. IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY LISTFILE, HP COBOL II/iX
SENDS THE LISTING OUTPUT TO YOUR CURRENT LIST DEVICE.
THE OBJECT FILE CREATED DURING COMPILATION IS A SYSTEM-
DEFINED TEMPORARY FILE, $NEWPASS, WHICH IS PASSED DIRECTLY
TO THE LINKEDITOR AS $OLDPASS. THE LINKEDITOR OVERWRITES
PROGFILE AND WRITES THE LINKED PROGRAM TO $OLDPASS, IF
PROGFILE IS OMITTED, WHICH CAN THEN BE EXECUTED.
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.
TO COMPILE AND LINK AN HP COBOL II/iX PROGRAM ENTERED FROM
YOUR STANDARD INPUT DEVICE WITH THE LISTING PRINTED ON THE
STANDARD LIST DEVICE, ENTER
COB85XLK
TO COMPILE AND LINK AN HP COBOL II/iX SOURCE PROGRAM INPUT
FROM THE TEXT FILE SFILE INTO A PROGRAM FILE NAMED MYPROG,
WITH THE RESULTING LISTING SENT TO THE CURRENT LIST DEVICE,
ENTER
