BBXL
You may also enter commands and statements to the HP Business BASIC/XL interpreter
by using input files that you have stored on disk. Files created using the editor must be
kept with the UNN (unnumbered) option of the editor's KEEP command. In this example, HP
Business BASIC/XL interpreter commands and statements are entered from the command
file MYCOMDS. The data that the program uses is stored in the input file MYDATA. The
program listing and output are written to the file MYLIST.
BBXL MYCOMDS,MYDATA,MYLIST
If you have compiled a number of library procedures into an executable library named
MYXL.MYGRP.MYACCT and wish to reference these in a program in the interpreter, use:
BBXL XL='MYXL.MYGRP.MYACCT'
Appropriate EXTERNAL and/or INTRINSIC statements in your program are used to
define the formal parameters, and an alias, if required, for the external procedure in the
executable library.
