COB85XLK
COB85XLK
Compiles and links an HP COBOL II/iX program using the 1985 ANSI standard entry
point. HP COBOL II/iX 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 HP COBOL II/iX is installed on your system. (Native Mode)
Syntax
COB85XLK[ textfile]
[ ,[ progfile] [ ,[ listfile] [ ,[ masterfile] [ ,newfile] ] ] ]
[ ;INFO=quotedstring] [ ;WKSP=workspacename] [ ;XDB=xdbfilename]
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 code 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.
progfile The name of the object file to which the Link Editor writes the linked
program. If you do not specify progfile, the default is $NEWPASS.
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 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 $STDIN if textfile is not specified.
newfile Actual file designator of the file created by merging textfile and masterfile.
This can be any ASCII output file. Formal file designator is COBNEW.
Default is that no file is written.
quotedstring A quoted string of no more than 255 characters (including the single or
double quotation marks that enclose it).
The quotedstring string may be used to pass dollar sign ($) commands to the
compiler: "$command1$command2$command3...". The $ must be the
first character in the string, and it must be used to separate multiple
