Invoking RAID from the Command Processor

To invoke RAID from the command processor, enter the RAID command instead of the RUN command. The syntax for invoking RAID from the command processor is as follows:

RAID [ filename ] program [ options ]

filename is the name of the file in which the source code is stored. RAID appends ".O" to filename in order to locate and operate on the object code. If you do not specify filename, RAID assumes the BP file by default.

program is the name of the record containing the source code of the program.

options can be one or more of the following:

NO.WARN

Suppresses all warning (nonfatal) error messages. If you do not specify NO.WARN, run-time error messages are printed on the terminal screen as they are encountered.

NO.PAGE

Turns off automatic paging. Programs that position the cursor with @ functions need not disable pagination.

LPTR

Spools program output to the printer rather than to the terminal.

KEEP.COMMON

Maintains the value of variables in unnamed common if a CHAIN statement passes control to another BASIC program.

TRAP

Causes RAID to be reentered whenever a nonfatal error occurs.

Use RAID the same way you use RUN. This causes RAID to be invoked just before program execution. For example, the following command executes the file BP.O/MAIN using the RAID debugger:

>RAID BP MAIN

When you invoke RAID from the command processor, RAID displays the first executable source code instruction, followed by a double colon ( :: ). Enter a RAID command at the :: prompt. To run the program, enter R at the :: prompt. To quit RAID, enter Q. RAID commands are discussed in detail in "RAID Commands".
