OCT
Syntax
OCTOMP
Operation
Use the object code translator to convert compatibility mode (CM) object code to HP
Precision Architecture (PA-RISC) instructions for increased performance. With OCT, you
can create a new file with translated object code, translate only selected segments of the
object code, or add translated segments to another file.
OCT translates most CM instructions into HP precision architecture instructions and
appends them to the end of the destination file. The resulting file can be executed on either
an MPE-V/E based system or an MPE/iX-based system. The effort involved in using OCT is
less than recompiling but, as in recompiling, you should retest the application to verify
proper execution.
