README.1ST [310,5] Various M and M-Plus command files BATCH.CMD - Command file to promote the use of batch files by allowing anyone to submit those 1-10 liner command sequences easily and generally all on the command line. A real boon to productivity here. BLD.CMD - A command file patterned after the LINK command file in account [310,11] to compile and link a fortran program in one operation. The compile and link commands are found in the Comment section of the program (and stay there where they belong). All of the single file programs here use this global command file. CHECKDATE.CMD - Command file placed as the first part of the STARTUP.CMD file to make sure that the year is correct and that the date is greater than the last boot date. MAKECMD.CMD - A command file to build a command file to submit a batch job for an application task. We have many large programs that lend themselves to batch and chaining, but there are too many questions for the user to remember when building a batch file. This file will build a command file to ask the questions that the application task asks, but with complete help on every question, and answer verification. The chaining option allows for default input filenames from the previous output filename. MONTHREP.CMD - Datatrieve command file to submit a batch file to process a months bills by user or for the system. Used via BATCH and Datatrieve. It is based on the January 1984, Multi-Tasker article. Supplies System charges for connect time, cpu-time, no. QIO's, no. Directives, and no. Pages printed. Gives a summary and user list. Also produces a list of invalid logins for the month.
