Command List II
Commands CALC thru COPY
progfile Actual file designator of the program file to which the prepared program
segments are written. If
progfile is omitted, the MPE segmenter creates
the program file, which resides in the temporary file domain as $OLDPASS.
If entered,
progfile indicates that the file was created in one of two ways:
• By 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. A
temporary job file of the correct size and type is created.
listfile Actual file designator of the file to 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 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 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 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
used with HPToolset. The formal file designator created by the compiler is
COBWKSP.
Operation Notes
The COBOLIIPREP command compiles and prepares a compatibility mode COBOLII
program into a program file on disk. If you do not specify
textfile , COBOLII expects your
input from your standard input device. If you do not specify
listfile , COBOLII sends the
listing output to your current list device.
The USL file created during compilation is a system-defined temporary file, $OLDPASS,
which is passed directly to the MPE segmenter. The segmenter overwrites the USL file and
writes the prepared program to $OLDPASS, if
progfile is omitted, which can then be
executed.
You cannot backreference the formal file designators used in this command (COBTEXT,
COBLIST, COBMAST, COBNEW, and COBWKSP) as actual file designators in the command
parameter list. For further information, refer to the "Implicit FILE Commands for
Subsystems" discussion of the FILE command.
