Q.1.1.1 MPE Environment

ACUCOBOL-GT in HP e3000 COBOL compatibility mode will run in both the MPE and POSIX environments.

If you want to run in the MPE environment, you should set the following MPE environment variables.

: setvar HPPATH HPPATH+",.,/ACUCOBOL/bin"
: setvar A_TERM "hp"
: setvar A_TERMCAP "/ACUCOBOL/etc/a_termcap"

When running the compiler and runtime from the MPE command line, use the following general syntax.

: command "args"

For example:

: chdir /ACUCOBOL/sample
: ccbl "tour.cbl"
: runcbl "tour.acu"
