Command Definitions A-B
BBXLGO
BBXLGO
Compiles, links, and executes an HP Business BASIC/XL program. HP Business
BASIC/XL is not part of the HP 3000 Series 900 Computer System Fundamental
Operating Software and must be purchased separately. (Native Mode)
Syntax
BBXLGO textfile [ ,[ listfile] ] [ ;XL=xllist]
NOTE This command follows the optional MPE/iX command line Syntax. Refer to
"Optional Format for MPE/iX Commands" at the beginning of this chapter.
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 which is 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 FILE command.
Operation Notes
This command compiles a BASIC SAVE file created by the HP Business BASIC/XL
interpreter. The compiled program executes significantly faster than the corresponding
interpreted version.
A BASIC SAVE program file is created from within the HP Business BASIC/XL interpreter
by using the HP Business BASIC/XL >SAVE filename command. The program then can be
compiled, linked, and executed with the BBXLGO command.
NOTE This command is implemented as a command file. If you set the HPPATH
variable to null (SETVAR ""), the command file is not executed, and the
command fails.
