PASXLLK


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

SYNTAX


     PASXLLK [textfile][,[progfile][,[listfile][,libfile]]]

              [;INFO=quotedstring]


PARAMETERS


textfile            The name of the text file that contains the source
                    code to be compiled.  This is an ASCII file that you
                    prepare with an editor such as EDIT/V. The formal
                    file designator is PASTEXT.

                    If you are running HP Pascal/iX from your terminal,
                    you will probably specify a disk textfile.  If you
                    do not specify textfile, then the default file is
                    $STDIN.  $STDIN is the current input device, usually
                    your terminal.

                    When textfile is your terminal, you
                    can enter source code interactively in response to
                    the ">" prompt.  When you have entered all the
                    source code, type a colon (:) in response to the
                    prompt to end the interactive input.

                    The source code to be compiled can be a program or a
                    list of modules.

progfile            The name of the program file on which the MPE/iX
                    linker writes the linked program.  The default is
                    $NEWPASS.
listfile            The name of the file on which the compiler writes
                    the program listing.  It can be any ASCII file.  The
                    default is $STDLIST, which is usually the terminal,
                    if you are running HP Pascal/iX from a terminal; it
                    is usually the printer, if you are running a batch
                    job. The formal file designator is PASLIST.

                    If your terminal is both textfile and listfile, the
                    compiler does not write the program listing on the
                    terminal.

                    If listfile is $NULL or a file other than $STDLIST,
                    the compiler displays on $STDLIST those lines that
                    contain errors.

libfile             The name of the HP Pascal/iX library file that the
                    compiler searches if a search path is not specified
                    with the compiler option SEARCH.  The default is
                    PASLIB in your group and account.

quotedstring        A parameter for the compiler.  It is a quoted string
                    of no more than 132 characters (including the single
                    or double quote marks that enclose it).

                    The quotedstring string is used to pass
                    initialcompiler options to the Pascal/iX compiler.
                    HP Pascal/iXbrackets the quotedstring string with
                    dollar signs($) and places the string before the
                    first line of the source code in the text file.

NOTE


The formal file designators used in this command (PASTEXT, PASLIB,
PASLIST) cannot be backreferenced as actual file designators in the
command parameter list.


OPERATION


     This command compiles and links an HP Pascal/iX program into a file
     on disk.  If you do not specify textfile, the compiler expects
     input from the standard input device.  If you do not specify
     listfile, the compiler sends the program listing output to the
     formal file designator PASLIST (default $STDLIST).

     The object file created during compilation is a system-
     defined temporary file, $NEWPASS, which is passed directly
     to the LinkEditor as $OLDPASS.  LinkEditor overwrites
     progfile and writes the linked program to $OLDPASS, if
     progfile is omitted, which can then be executed.

NOTE


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

     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 links an HP Pascal/iX
     program entered through your standard input device and
     stores the linked program in the file $OLDPASS.  The listing
     will be printed on your standard list device.

     PASXLLK

     To compile and link an HP Pascal/iX source program from the
     source file SOURCE, storing it in PROG, and sending the
     listing to your standard list device, enter

     PASXLLK SOURCE,PROG
