XEQ
The XEQ command executes any command file or program file. This command
is required when you want to execute a command file or program file that
has the same name as an existing MPE/iX or UDC command; however, you can
also use the command for any executable file.
Syntax
The syntax for a command file is
XEQ filename [parameterlist]
The syntax for a program file is
XEQ filename [;INFO={quotedstring}][;PARM={parmvalue}]
Parameters
filename Specifies the file name of the command file or
program file to be executed. The system uses the
search path (HPPATH) if you do not qualify
filename.
parameterlist Lists the parameters passed to filename when a
command file executes. The parameter list
corresponds to the PARM line(s) of the command file
you want to execute.
INFO Specifies a parameter string (quotedstring) for
program files that accept an INFO string. Quotes
are required if the INFO string requires
delimiters, such as ;=", and so on.
PARM Specifies a parameter value (parmvalue) for a
program file to be executed.
Operation Notes
* Usage
You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in
break mode. Pressing Break suspends program files and aborts
command files, unless the command files use the NOBREAK option.
You can execute many command files in break mode; however, if a
command file runs a program, the system prompts you to abort the
suspended program. You cannot execute program files in break mode
unless you abort the suspended program.
Example
* To execute a command file named FCOPY.PUB.MYACCT, enter:
:XEQ FCOPY.PUB.MYACCT
