Utilities Quick Reference

OCT

Syntax

OCTOMP

Operation

Use the object code translator to convert compatibility mode (CM) object code to HP Precision Architecture

(PA-RISC) instructions for increased performance. With OCT, you can create a new file with translated object

code, translate only selected segments of the object code, or add translated segments to another file.

OCT translates most CM instructions into HP precision architecture instructions and appends them to the end

of the destination file. The resulting file can be executed on either an MPE-V/E based system or an

MPE/iX-based system. The effort involved in using OCT is less than recompiling but, as in recompiling, you

should retest the application to verify proper execution.
