Interactive Mode
command
is a SCUP command. When commands are present, SCUP executes the
commands and terminates without reading command-file.
The following applies to the OUT option of the SCUP command:
•
If the OUT file specification is a disk file name and the file already exists, the listing
is appended to the file. If the OUT file specification is a disk file name and the file
does not exist, an EDIT file is created.
•
If the OUT file specification is a line printer or a process, a page eject is performed
when the file is opened. A page eject is not performed before the file is closed.
•
If the OUT file specification is a magnetic tape, two consecutive file marks are
written just before the file is closed.
Interactive Mode
SCUP functions in interactive mode when commands are entered from a terminal
keyboard. SCUP prints the product identification message and prompts for a
command by printing the question mark symbol (?). When a command is entered,
SCUP executes the command and issues another prompt. For example:
1> scup
SCOBOL CLIENT OBJECT MANAGER ...
?
Two or more commands can be grouped and separated by semicolons (;). For
example:
?help command-1; command-2
is equivalent to
?command-1
?command-2
You can continue commands and parameters on a subsequent line by ending the line
with an ampersand (&) character. A maximum of 132 characters including the
ampersand can be entered on each line. The total number of characters for a multiline
command cannot exceed 528.
SCUP verifies a command for accuracy before executing a command. If an error
occurs, no part of the command is executed. If the BREAK key is pressed during
execution of a command, SCUP completes the operation for any one program, then
terminates the command. In this way, SCUP maintains complete programs in object
files.
