HPTOOLSET XL Reference Manual

Compile Function Key 

Is available in the SHOW SOURCE menu and in the Main Program function key
set.  To use the Compile key in the SHOW SOURCE menu, designate a source
file(s) in the display by typing a character in the box(es) next to the
file(s) you want to compile.  Then press the Compile key.  If you have
designated more than one file, each one will compile separately in the
order in which they appear.  TOOLSET/XL does not allow simultaneous
compiles.

          Figure 4-2.  Beginning Compile 

When you press the Compile key, TOOLSET/XL will display a message telling
you that your file is compiling.

A double arrow prompt will be displayed while the compile is being
processed.  This means that other TOOLSET/XL operations can be performed
while your source file is being compiled.  However, these operations must
not access the object or List file.  You can edit your source file at any
time other than when you are compiling the LATEST version.  During the
compile, TOOLSET/XL does an implicit USE on your source file.  The USE
appears on the SHOW FILES and SHOW EQUATES menus during the compile.
After the compile, an implicit DISCARD is done.  When a compile finishes,
the compiler statistics, including the number of errors and warnings, are
listed on your screen.

From the Listing, you can enter the editor to view the source file and
correct errors.
