mode. HP Business BASIC/V is not part of the HP 3000 Series 900 Computer System

Syntax
BBASICGO infile [ ,listfile]
Parameters
infile Actual file designator of the BSAVE file containing the HP Business
BASIC/V program to be compiled. Formal file designator is BBCIN.
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 BBCLIST.
Default is $STDLIST.
NOTE The formal file designators used in this command (BBCIN and BBCLIST)
cannot be backreferenced as actual file designators in the command
parameter list. Refer to the "Implicit FILE Commands for Subsystems"
discussion of the FILE command.
Operation Notes
This command compiles, prepares, and executes a program from a BSAVE file created by
the HP Business BASIC/V interpreter. This enables the program to run faster than it
would if it were executed by the interpreter.
You may create a BSAVE program file within the HP Business BASIC/V interpreter after it
is saved by using the HP Business BASIC/V interpreter >SAVE filename command. The
program then can be compiled, prepared, and executed with the BBASICGO command.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, or program. It may not be used in
BREAK. Pressing
Break suspends the execution of this command. Entering the RESUME
command continues the execution.
Example
To compile, prepare, and execute the HP Business BASIC/V program MYPROG and send the
listing to the disk file LISTFL, enter:
BBASICGO MYPROG,LISTFL
