PASCALPREP


     Compiles and prepares a Compatibility Mode Pascal/V program.
     Pascal/V is not part of the 900 Series HP 3000 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.

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 will be 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

                 o  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.

                 o  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.

NOTE


The formal file designators used in this command (PASTEXT and PASLIST)
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.

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 quotation marks
                    in a row, or two double quotes 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


     The PASCALPREP command compiles and prepares a
     Compatibility Mode Pascal/V program into a program file on
     disk.  If you do not specify textfile, MPE/iX expects input
     from the current input device.  If you do not specify
     listfile, MPE/iX sends the listing output to the formal file
     designator PASLIST (default $STDLIST).  The USL file
     $OLDPASS, created during compilation, is a temporary file
     passed directly to the MPE Segmenter.  You may access it
     only if you do not use the default for progfile.  This is
     because the MPE Segmenter also uses $OLDPASS to store the
     prepared program segments, overwriting any existing
     temporary file of the same name.

     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)


     The following example compiles and prepares a Pascal/V program
     entered through your standard input device and stores the
     prepared program segments in the file $OLDPASS.  The listing
     will be printed on your standard list device.

     PASCALPREP

     To compile and prepare a Pascal/V source program from the
     source file PASCSRC, storing it in PASCPROG, and sending the
     listing to your standard list device, enter:

     PASCALPREP PASCSRC,PASCPROG
