Command List II
Commands CALC thru COPY
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 The name of the file that contains the source file that is to be compiled.
This can be any ASCII or toolset access method (TSAM) file. The formal
file designator is COBTEXT.
If you are running HP COBOL II/iX from your terminal, you will probably
specify a disk
textfile . If you do not specify textfile , the default file is
$STDIN. $STDIN is the current input device, usually your terminal.
listfile The name of the file to which the compiler writes the program listing. This
can be any ASCII file. The formal file designator is COBLIST. If you do not
specify
listfile , the default is $STDLIST. $STDLIST is usually the
terminal in a session or the printer in a batch job.
masterfile Actual file designator of the master file which is merged against textfile
to produce a composite source. This can be any ASCII input file. Formal
file designator is COBMAST. Default is that the master file is not read; input
is read from
textfile , or from $STDIN if textfile is not specified.
newfile Actual file designator of the merged textfile and masterfile . This can
be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is COBNEW. Default is that
no file is written.
quotedstring A quoted string of no more than 255 characters, including the single or
double quotation marks that enclose it, that specifies compile time options.
The
quotedstring string may be used to pass dollar sign ($) commands to
the compiler: "$command1$command2$command3...". The $ must be the
first character in the string, and it must be used to separate multiple
commands. To extend the
quotedstring string over more than one
physical line make an ampersand (&) the last character of one line and
continue the
quotedstring string onto the next physical line. Each $
command is limited in length to the same size as in the source file:
COB74XLG SALARIES;INFO="$CONTROL &
BOUNDS,MAP,VERBS$SET&$X9=ON" &
COB74XLG ACCOUNTS;INFO="$DEFINE %A=5#"
workspacename This parameter is the actual file designator of an HPToolset workspace.
The formal file designator created by the compiler is COBWKSP.
xdbfilename Actual file designator for the file to be used by the symbolic debugger
(XDB). This is a permanent file created by the compiler that contains the
listing of the source files. The formal file designator is COBXDB.
If this file exists, then it must be in a special format created by a previous
compile using this option. In this case, it is first purged. If the file is of the
wrong type, the compile is not attempted. The user must either use a
different name or purge the file.
