SPLPREP
SPLPREP
Compiles and prepares a compatibility mode SPL/V program. SPL/V is not part of the HP
3000 Series 900 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and must be
purchased separately.
Syntax
SPLPREP[ textfile][, [progfile] [, [listfile] [, [masterfile]
[,newfile] ] ] ] [ ;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 SPLTEXT.
Default is $STDIN.
progfile Actual file designator of the program file to which the prepared program
segments are written. When you omit progfile, the MPE segmenter creates
the program file, which then resides in the temporary file domain as
$OLDPASS. If you do create your own program file, you must do so in one of
two ways:
• 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.
• 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 program listing is written. This
can be any ASCII output file. Formal designator is SPLLIST. Default is
$STDLIST.
masterfile Actual file designator of the master file that is merged against textfile to
produce a composite source. This can be any ASCII input file. The formal
file designator is SPLMAST. Default is that the master file is not read; input
is read from textfile, or from $STDIN if textfile is not specified. If two files
being merged have identical line numbers, the lines from textfile or from
$STDIN overwrites those in masterfile.
newfile Actual file designator of the file produced by merging textfile and masterfile.
This can be any ASCII output file. The formal file designator is SPLNEW.
Default is that no file is written.
NOTE The formal file designators used in this command (SPLTEXT, SPLLIST,
SPLMAST, and SPLNEW) cannot be backreferenced as actual file designators in
the command parameter list. For further information refer to the "Implicit
FILE Commands for Subsystems" section of the FILE command.
