Command Definitions P-R
RPGXLLK
RPGXLLK
Compiles and links 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
RPGXLLK[ textfile][,[progfile][,[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 $STDIN.
progfile Actual file designator of the program file to which the linked program is
written. When you omit progfile, the MPE/iX Link Editor creates the
program file, which is stored in the temporary file domain as $OLDPASS. If
you do create your own program file, you do so by specifying a nonexistent
file in the progfile parameter, in which case a job/session permanent file of
the correct size and type is created.
If you name an existing program file (file code = NMPROG), that file is
purged before the new one of the same name is created.
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 RPGXLLK command compiles and links an RPG/XL program into a disk file. If you do
not specify textfile, RPG/XL expects your input from your standard input device. If you do
not specify listfile, RPG/XL sends the listing output to your current list device.
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 overwrites
progfile and writes the linked program to $OLDPASS, if progfile is omitted, which can then be
executed.
