Command List II
Commands CALC thru COPY
The functionality of NMRLS closely maps to the MPE/V USLS. Refer to
the HP COBOL/XL Programmer's Guide (31500-90002) for information
on the RLINIT and RLFILE commands that cause creation of an NMRL by
default or initialization.
The compiler may issue an error message telling you that a new or
existing object file is too small to contain the compiler's output or number
of modules. In that case you must build a larger file or use the Link Editor
to clean the NMRL. You may then recompile to the new file.
You may use the MPE/iX SAVE command to store $OLDPASS as a
permanent file under another name.
listfile The name of the file to which the compiler writes the program listing. This
can be any ASCII file. The formal file designator is COBLIST. If you do not
specify
listfile , the default is $STDLIST. $STDLIST is usually the
terminal in a session or the printer in a batch job.
masterfile Actual file designator of the master file with which textfile is merged to
produce a composite source. This can be any ASCII input file. The formal
designator is COBMAST. Default is that the master file is not read; input is
read from
textfile , or from $STDIN if textfile is not specified.
newfile Actual file designator of the merged textfile and the masterfile . This
can be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is COBNEW. Default is
that no file is written.
quotedstring A quoted string of no more than 255 characters, including the single or
double quotation marks that enclose it, that specifies compile time options.
The
quotedstring string may be used to pass dollar sign ($) commands to
the compiler: "$command1$command2$command3...". The $ must be the
first character in the string, and it must be used to separate multiple
commands. To extend the
quotedstring string over more than one
physical line make an ampersand (&) the last character of one line and
continue the
quotedstring string onto the next physical line. Each $
command is limited in length to the same size as in the source file:
COB74XL SALARIES,SALPRG;INFO="$CONTROL &
BOUNDS,MAP,VERBS$SET&$X9=ON"&
COB74XL ACCOUNTS;INFO="$DEFINE %A=5#"
workspacename Actual file designator of an HPToolset workspace. The formal designator
is COBWKSP.
xdbfilename Actual file designator for the file to be used by the symbolic debugger
(XDB). This is a permanent file created by the compiler that contains the
listing of the source files. The formal file designator is COBXDB.
If this file exists, then it must be in a special format created by a previous
compile using this option. In this case, it is first purged. If the file is of the
wrong type, the compile is not attempted. The user must either use a
different name or purge the file.
Once the file is created, XDB expects the fully qualified name of the file to
