RPGXLGO
RPGXLGO
Compiles, links, and executes an RPG/XL program. RPG/XL is not part of the HP 3000
Series 900 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and must be purchased
separately. This command is recognized only if RPG/XL is installed on your system.
(Native Mode)
Syntax
RPGXLGO[ textfile][,[listfile]]
NOTE This command follows the optional MPE/iX command line syntax. Refer to
"Optional Format for MPE/iX Commands" at the beginning of this chapter.
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 RPGTEXT.
Default is $STDLIST.
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 RPGLIST.
Default is $STDLIST.
NOTE The formal file designators used in this command (RPGTEXT and RPGLIST)
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 RPGXLGO command compiles, links, and executes an RPG/XL program. If textfile is
omitted, RPG/XL expects input from your standard input device. If you do not specify
listfile, RPG/XL sends the program listing to the formal file designator RPGLIST (default is
$STDLIST).
The object file created during compilation is a system-defined temporary file, $NEWPASS,
which is passed directly to the Link Editor as $OLDPASS. The Link Editor purges the
object file and writes the linked program to $OLDPASS, which is then executed and may be
executed repeatedly.
NOTE This command is implemented as a command file. If you set the HPPATH
variable to null (SETVAR HPPATH ""), the command file is not executed, and
the command fails.
