BASIC Options
You can use the following options with the BASIC command:
- +$option
- Turns on the specified $OPTIONS option, or defines a flavor.
- -$option
- Turns off the specified $OPTIONS option or flavor.
- -I
- Suppresses execution of RAID or VLIST on a compiler or a BASIC program.
- -LIST or -L
- Generates a listing of the program.
- -XREF or -X
- Generates a cross-reference table of statement labels and variable names used in the program.
- -SPOOL or -S
- Generates a listing of the program and spools it directly to the printer rather than to a file.
- -T
- Suppresses the symbol and line number tables that are usually appended to the end of the object file, for run-time error messages.
A listing produced with either the -LIST or the -XREF option is saved in a file whose name is made up of the source filename and a suffixed .L . The record ID of the program listing in the listing file (filename.L) is the same as the record ID in the program file (filename).
