Creating mvBASIC Programs

The process of writing an mvBASIC program is relatively simple. The programmer edits the program source code and then compiles the program. If the program compiles successfully, it then executes. If the program runs correctly, it is ready to be cataloged; otherwise, it is debugged (optionally, using the interactive debugger) and the sequence is repeated.

The following topics are presented in this section:

Creating the Program File

Editing and Listing the Source Code

Compiling the Program

Running the Program

Cataloging the Program
