The RUN command runs an mvBASIC program that has already been compiled with the COMPILE (or the BASIC) command.
Format
RUN filename progname [(options)] |
Parameter(s)
filename |
Name of the mvBASIC program file. This file often contains many mvBASIC programs, one program per file item. |
|
progname |
Item-ID of the program that you want to run. |
|
options |
Modifies the execution of the program. Enclose the options you select in a set of parentheses. |
|
A |
Aborts the program if an error occurs by inhibiting entry to the Debugger. |
|
D |
Enters the mvBASIC Debugger before program execution. |
|
E |
Forces the mvBASIC run-time package to enter the Debugger whenever an error occurs. The user must either accept the error by using the Debugger, or exit to TCL. |
|
I |
Inhibits initialization of the data area. This option should only be used with the CHAIN statement. |
|
N |
Suppresses automatic paging. |
|
P |
Sends program output to the printer. |
|
S |
Suppresses run-time warning messages. |
|
NOTE |
Rocket does not recommend using the I option. The I option is available to support old code (pre-EXECUTE statement). Any corruption of the workspace area causes problems if you try to use the I option. If using the I option causes problems, you should change the structure of your program (that is, use the EXECUTE statement). |
Running an mvBASIC Program
The following example runs an mvBASIC program called COUNTER that resides in the BP program file, and sends program output to the printer:
> RUN BP COUNTER (P) . . . |
