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
