VERSION 

Syntax 

     VERSION 

or

     VERSION filename 

or

     VERSION "filename [,search string]"

Where

file(s)               File(s) is the name of a program file or a wild
                      carded file set.

search string         Search string is the name of a particular $version
                      string in a system object module (SOM)(Not
                      applicable for CM program files.)  Quotes are
                      required if a search string is specified.

Operation 

Use VERSION to display information about compatibility mode and native
mode files.

   *   For compatability mode (CM) program files, VERSION displays
       segment, stack, data reference base, and capability information.

   *   For native mode (NM) executable files, VERSION displays
       information on procedures, libraries, capabilities, stack, heap,
       entry names, and $version strings.

   *   For NM object files and nonexecutable library files, VERSION
       displays $version strings.

VERSION expects a file name or a wild carded file set as input.  If you
invoke VERSION without entering a file name or a file set, the VERSION>
prompt appears.  VERSION continues to prompt you for input until you
enter EXIT or a colon (:).

If the input is a file set, VERSION processes every file in the set even
if an error occurs during processing.  If there is an error opening a
file, you will see the file system error in addition to the VERSION error
message.

Additional Discussion 

For more information, refer to Chapter 31 .  For more information on
the $version strings found in the SOM, refer to the HP Pascal 
Programmer's Guide (31502-90002).
