Command List I
Commands ABORT to BYE
uslfile Actual file designator of the user subprogram library (USL) file on which
the object program is written, which can be any binary output file with file
code of USL or 1024. Its formal file designator is BBCUSL. If the uslfile
parameter is omitted, the object code is saved to the temporary file
$OLDPASS. If entered, this parameter specifies that the file was created in
one of four ways:
• By using the SAVE command to save the default USL file $OLDPASS
created by a previous compilation.
• By building the USL with the MPE segmenter command BUILDUSL.
Refer to the MPE Segmenter Reference Manual (30000-90011).
• By creating a new USL file with the BUILD command and specifying a
file code of USL or 1024.
• By specifying a nonexistent uslfile parameter, thereby creating a
permanent file of the correct size and type.
listfile Actual file designator of the file on which the program listing is written.
This can be any ASCII output file. Formal designator is BBCLIST. Default
is $STDLIST.
NOTE The formal file designators used in this command (BBCIN, BBCUSL, and
BBCLIST) cannot be backreferenced 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.
Operation Notes
The BBASICOMP command compiles a source program stored in a BASIC SAVE file generated
by the HP Business BASIC/V interpreter. The compiled program executes significantly
faster than the corresponding interpreted version.
A BSAVE program file can be created from within the HP Business BASIC/V interpreter
after it is written, by using the HP Business BASIC/V interpreter >SAVE filename
command. The program may be compiled with the BBASICOMP command, then prepared
with the PREP command, and executed with the RUN command .
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, or program. It may not be used in
BREAK. Pressing
Break suspends the execution of this command. Entering the RESUME
command continues the execution.
Examples
To compile the HP Business BASIC/V program MYPROG into the USL named OBJECT, enter:
BBASICOMP MYPROG,OBJECT
If you do not choose to build a USL file, the BBASICOMP command compiles your program,
storing the object code in the default USL file $OLDPASS.
