Command List II
Commands CALC thru COPY
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 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 $STDIN if textfile is not specified.
newfile Actual file designator of the file created by merging textfile and
masterfile . This can be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is
COBNEW. Default is that no file is written.
quotedstring A quoted string of no more than 255 characters (including the single or
double quotation marks that enclose it).
The
quotedstring string may be used to pass dollar sign ($) 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:
COB85XLK SALARIES,SALPRG;INFO="$CONTROL &
BOUNDS,MAP,VERBS$SET&$X9=ON"
COB85XLK ACCOUNTS;INFO="$DEFINE %A=5#"
workspacename This parameter is the actual file designator of an HPToolset workspace.
The formal file 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
be unchanged. A FILE equation could be used if the file is renamed.
Operation Notes
The COB85XLK command compiles and links an HP COBOL II/iX program into a disk file. If
you do not specify
textfile , HP COBOL II/iX expects your input from your standard
input device. If you do not specify
listfile , HP COBOL II/iX sends the listing output to
your current list device.
The object file created during compilation is a system-defined temporary file, $NEWPASS,
which is passed directly to the Link Editor as $OLDPASS. The Link Editor overwrites
progfile which can then be executed.
