and must be purchased separately. The native mode equivalent of this command is
COB74XL.
For information on the 85 entry point, refer to the HP COBOL II/XL Reference Manual

Syntax
COBOLII[ textfile]

[ ;INFO=quotedstring] [ ;WKSP=workspacename]
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 COBTEXT.
Default is $STDIN.
uslfile Actual file designator of the user subprogram library (USL) on which the
object program is written. This can be any binary output file with a file
code of USL or 1024. Its formal file designator is COBUSL. If the uslfile
parameter is omitted, the object code is saved to the temporary file
$OLDPASS. If this parameter is entered, it indicates that the file was
created in one of four ways:
• By using the SAVE command to save the default USL file created during
a previous compilation.
• By building the USL with the segmenter command -BUILDUSL. Refer
to the MPE Segmenter Reference Manual (30000-90011).
• By creating a new USL file with the MPE/iX BUILD command and
specifying a file code of USL or 1024.
• By specifying a nonexistent uslfile parameter, thereby creating a
permanent file of the correct size and type.
