Update packages, which are issued between editions, contain additional and replacement pages to be merged into the manual by the customer. The dates on the title page change only when a new edition or a new update is published. No information is incorporated into a reprinting unless it appears as a prior update; the edition does not change when an update is incorporated. The software code printed alongside the date indicates the version level of the software product at the time the manual or update was issued. Many product updates and fixes do not require manual changes and, conversely, manual corrections may be done without accompanying product changes. Therefore, do not expect a one-to-one correspondence between product updates and manual updates. First Edition December 1987 36044A.00.00 Preface Throughout this Reference Manual, the term TOOLSET/XL is used to refer to the HPTOOLSET/XL software. TOOLSET/XL is a software package designed to make it easier for COBOL, Pascal, and FORTRAN programmers to develop applications programs. There are three pieces of TOOLSET documentation: (1) the self-study course was developed for the novice who requires step by step instruction in how to use the product. It is intended to be read consecutively. (2) the Reference Manual was developed for the experienced programmer who requires a technical reference to the product. As such, it is designed to be used for discrete consultation and not for consecutive reading. And, lastly, there is (3) the SE Training Course for Systems Engineers. The Reference Manual contains eight chapters on the following topics: Chapter 1 An Introduction to the key features of the product Chapter 2 The Function Key Sets Chapter 3 A brief alphabetical summary of all TOOLSET/XL commands and function keys Chapter 4 A detailed alphabetical directory of all TOOLSET/XL commands and function keys Chapter 5 The Workspace concept and how files are managed Chapter 6 Editing Chapter 7 Program Translation: Prep and Compile Chapter 8 Symbolic Debug Conventions NOTATION DESCRIPTION UPPERCASE Words in syntax statements which are in UPPERCASE must be entered exactly as shown. Punctuation characters other than brackets, braces, and ellipses must also be entered exactly as shown. For example: EXIT; lowercase Words in syntax statements which are in lowercase denote a parameter which must be replaced by a user-supplied variable. For example: CLOSE filename [ ] An element inside brackets in a syntax statement is optional. Several elements stacked inside brackets means the user may select any one or none of these elements. For example: [A] [B] User may select A or B or neither. | | Optional keywords may be enclosed by vertical bars. { } When several elements are stacked within braces in a syntax statement, the user must select one of those elements. For example: {A} {B} User must select A or B or C. {C} ... A horizontal ellipsis in a syntax statement indicates that a previous element may be repeated. For example: [,itemname]..; In addition, vertical and horizontal ellipses may be used in examples to indicate that portions of the example have been omitted. underlining When several choices are given for a parameter, the default may be underlined. shading Shading represents inverse video on the terminal's screen. In addition, it is used to represent function keys.
