COB85XL
Compiles an HP COBOL II/iX program using the 1985 ANSI standard entry point and
creates an object file. HP COBOL II/iX is not part of the HP 3000 Series 900 Computer

Parameters
textfile
The name of the file that contains the source code that is to be compiled.
This can be any ASCII or toolset access method (TSAM) file. The formal
file designator is COBTEXT.
If you are running HP COBOL II/iX from your terminal, you will probably
specify a disk
textfile
. If you do not specify
textfile
, the default file is
$STDIN. $STDIN is the current input device, usually your terminal.
objectfile
Actual file designator of the object file, which is the output of the compiler.
This file is stored in binary form and has a file code of either NMOBJ (1461)
or NMRL (1033). Its formal file designator is COBOBJ. If the
objectfile
parameter is omitted, the object code is saved to the temporary file
$OLDPASS if it exists, or to $NEWPASS which then becomes $OLDPASS.
If you specify
objectfile
, the compiler stores the object file in a
permanent file of the correct size, type, and name you specified.
If either a file of the same name or the default file $OLDPASS already exists,
the new object code overwrites the old if the file code is NMOBJ or is
appended to the old if the file code is NMRL. If the file code is NMRL, any
