Accessing the Operating System

The operating system can be accessed from HP Business BASIC/XL with the

SYSTEM, SYSTEMRUN, or EXIT commands as follows:

SYSTEM Executes an operating system command, a UDC, a program,

or a command file from HP Business BASIC/XL (and returns

to HP Business BASIC/XL). You can also type

instead of SYSTEM.

SYSTEMRUN Runs another program from HP Business BASIC/XL (and

returns to HP Business BASIC/XL).

EXIT Exits HP Business BASIC/XL (and does not return).

The SYSTEM and SYSTEMRUN commands are executable from within a program,

and are discussed in chapter 4.

EXIT Command

The EXIT command exits HP Business BASIC/XL. It is a command-only

statement and cannot appear in a program.

Syntax

{EXIT [BASIC]}

{:: }

Typing EXIT after changing your program without saving the complete

program will result in the following question:

UnSAVEd source modifications will be lost. Do you really want to

EXIT? Y

To exit, press RETURN or Y RETURN. To return to HP Business BASIC/XL,

press any other character key followed by RETURN. Function keys and oth-

er special keys will not return you to HP Business BASIC/XL.

The :: form of the EXIT command does not check for source modifications

before exiting.
