COMMAND_FILES

Command files are text files containing the source of nu/TPU procedure definitions or statements. Most larger command files are compiled and saved as section files for later execution.

Specify command files at the command line using the /COMMAND=command_file qualifier.

The COMMAND switch is used to determine if a file containing nu/TPU code is compiled and executed prior to starting the edit session. The resulting executable code is layered on top of the current section file definitions. Command files can be used for start up processing, but they are not executed as fast as precompiled section files. A section file or a command file must be used to start up a nu/TPU edit session.

nu/TPU will look for the default command file tpuini.tpu in the current directory. To skip the look up of a command file, use the /NOCOMMAND switch. If a command file is requested but cannot be found, the session will be terminated and control returned to the operating system.
