Command Definitions A-B
BASICGO
BASICGO
Compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode BASIC/V program. BASIC/V is not
part of the HP 3000 Series 900 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and
must be purchased separately.
Syntax
BASICGO[ commandfile] [ ,listfile]
Parameters
commandfile Actual file designator of the input file from which the BASIC/V compiler
commands are read. This can be any ASCII input file. Formal file
designator is BSCTEXT. Default is $STDINX.
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 BSCLIST.
Default is $STDLIST.
NOTE The formal file designators used in this command (BSCTEXT and BSCLIST)
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
This command compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode program from a
"fastsave" file created by the BASIC/V interpreter. This enables the program to run faster
than it would if it were executed by the interpreter.
To save the program after it is written, use the BASIC/V interpreter command SAVE
filename,FAST. The program then can be compiled, prepared, and executed with the
BASICGO command. You must specify the FAST option to compile the program.
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.
