Command List VIII
Commands PASCAL thru PURGEUSER
Syntax
PASCALGO[
textfile ] [, listfile ] [;INFO= quotedstring ]
Parameters
textfile Actual file designator of the input file from which the source program is
read. This can be any ASCII input file. Formal file designator is PASTEXT.
Default is $STDIN. $STDIN is the current input device, usually your
terminal.
PASTEXT cannot be backreferenced as an actual file designator in the
command parameter list. For further information, refer to the "Implicit
FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the FILE command.
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 PASLIST.
Default is $STDLIST. $STDLIST is usually your terminal if you are running
Pascal/V interactively, or the printer if you are running a batch job.
PASLIST cannot be backreferenced as an actual file designator in the
command parameter list. For further information, refer to the "Implicit
FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the FILE command.
quotedstring A sequence of characters between two single quotation marks
(apostrophes) or between two double quotation marks. You may use the
delimiter as part of the string so long as the delimiter appears twice. Any
occurrence of two single or two double quotation marks in a row is
considered part of the string, and, therefore, not the terminating delimiter.
INFO=
quotedstring is used in the Pascal/V programming language to
pass initial compiler options to a program. Pascal/V brackets the
quotedstring with dollar signs and places it before the first line of source
code in the text file.
Operation Notes
The PASCALGO command compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode Pascal/V
program. If
textfile is omitted, MPE/iX expects input from your standard input device. If
you do not specify
listfile , MPE/iX sends the program listing to the formal file
designator PASLIST (default is $STDLIST).
The USL file created during the compilation is the system-defined temporary file
$OLDPASS, which is passed directly to the MPE segmenter. It can only be accessed if you do
not use the default for
progfile . This is because the segmenter also uses $OLDPASS to
store the prepared program segments, overwriting any existing temporary file of the same
name.
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.
