COBOLIIGO
Compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode COBOLII program on the COBOL
74 compiler. COBOLII is not part of the HP 3000 Series 900 Computer System
Fundamental Operating Software and must be purchased separately. The native mode
equivalent of this command is COB74XLG.

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.
listfile
Actual file designator of the file on which the program listing is written.
This can be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is COBLIST.
Default is $STDLIST.
masterfile
Actual file designator of the master file which is merged against
textfile
to produce a composite source. This can be any ASCII input file. Formal
file designator is COBMAST. Default is that the master file is not read; input
is read from
textfile
, or from $STDIN if
textfile
is not specified.
newfile
Actual file designator of the merged
textfile
and the
masterfile
. This
can be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is COBNEW. Default is
that no file is written.
quotedstring
A sequence of ASCII characters bounded by a pair of single quotation
marks (apostrophes) or by double quotation marks. You may use the
delimiting character as part of the string so long as it appears twice. Any
occurrence of two single or two double quotation marks in a row, is
considered part of the string, and, therefore, not the terminating delimiter.
INFO=
quotedstring
is used in the COBOLII programming language to
pass compiler options to a program. These options appear before the first
line of source code in the text file.
workspacename
This parameter is the actual file designator of an HPToolset workspace.
The formal file designator created by the compiler is COBWKSP.
Operation Notes
The COBOLIIGO command compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode program
using the COBOL 74 compiler. If you do not specify
textfile
, COBOLII expects the source
program to be entered from your standard input device. If you do not specify
listfile
,
COBOLII sends the output to your standard list device.
