HP TOOLSET/XL Enhancements
by Jan Merrill
Santa Clara Information Systems Division
HP TOOLSET/XL provides an integrated set of tools to maximize the
productivity of programmers in all phases of development on MPE XL
systems. HP TOOLSET/XL is designed to facilitate three core program
development activities: coding, compiling, and debugging. This version
of HP TOOLSET/XL supports the following additional features of the HP
Pascal/XL and HP FORTRAN 77/XL compilers:
* HP Pascal/XL imported modules.
* HP FORTRAN 77/XL record structures.
HP PASCAL/XL SUPPORT
Support for debugging HP Pascal/XL imported modules allows the user to:
* DATATRACE or DISPLAY variables that are defined in imported modules.
* MOVE values to imported variables.
* Set breakpoints at statements in imported modules.
* Set breakpoints at the beginning and end of procedures in imported
modules by using the AT NEXT command.
Note that HP TOOLSET/XL uses the same rules for accessing imported
variables as HP Pascal/XL uses. For more information, refer to the
description of modules in the Program Structure chapter of the HP Pascal
Reference Manual (P/N 31502-60005).
HP FORTRAN 77/XL SUPPORT
HP TOOLSET/XL support for HP FORTRAN 77/XL record structures includes the
use of the following HP TOOLSET/XL commands:
* DATATRACE or DISPLAY variables in record structures.
* MOVE values to variables within record structures.
The HP TOOLSET/XL display of HP FORTRAN 77/XL record structures is
similar to the display of HP Pascal/XL records. For further information
on displaying HP FORTRAN 77/XL record structures, refer to the related
Technical Communicator article in this publication, and refer to the
discussion about displaying HP Pascal/XL records in the ET/XL Reference
Manual (P/N 36044-60001).
