Syntax
VERSION

VERSION
filename
or
VERSION "
filename [, search string ]"
Where
file(s) File(s) is the name of a program file or a wild carded file set.
search string Search string is the name of a particular $version string in a system
object module (SOM)(Not applicable for CM program files.) Quotes are
required if a search string is specified.
Operation
Use VERSION to display information about compatibility mode and native mode files.
• For compatability mode (CM) program files, VERSION displays segment, stack, data
reference base, and capability information.
• For native mode (NM) executable files, VERSION displays information on procedures,
libraries, capabilities, stack, heap, entry names, and $version strings.
• For NM object files and nonexecutable library files, VERSION displays $version strings.
VERSION expects a file name or a wild carded file set as input. If you invoke VERSION
without entering a file name or a file set, the VERSION> prompt appears. VERSION
continues to prompt you for input until you enter EXIT or a colon (:).
If the input is a file set, VERSION processes every file in the set even if an error occurs
during processing. If there is an error opening a file, you will see the file system error in
addition to the VERSION error message.
Additional Discussion
For more information, refer to Chapter 31 , “VERSION.” For more information on the
$version strings found in the SOM, refer to the HP Pascal Programmer's Guide.
