Running Ax51
The Ax51 assembler is invoked by typing the program name at the Windows command prompt. On this command line, you must include the name of the assembler source file to be translated, as well as any other necessary assembler controls required to translate your source file. The format for the Ax51 command line is:
A51 sourcefile directives…
AX51 sourcefile directives…
A251 sourcefile directives…
or:
A51 @commandfile
AX51 @commandfile
A251 @commandfile
|
|
where |
|
|
|
sourcefile |
is the name of the source program you want to assemble. |
|
|
controls |
are used to direct the operation of the assembler. Refer to |
|
|
|
“Assembler Controls” on page 197 for more information. |
|
|
commandfile |
is the name of a command input file that may contain |
|
|
|
sourcefile and directives. A commandfile is used, when the |
|
|
|
Ax51 invocation line gets complex and exceeds the limits of |
|
|
|
the Windows command prompt. |
|
|
The following command line example invokes A251 macro assembler and |
|
|
|
specifies the source file SAMPLE.A51 and uses the controls DEBUG, XREF, |
|
7 |
|
and PAGEWIDTH. |
|
|
|
||
|
A251 SAMPLE.A51 DEBUG XREF PAGEWIDTH(132) |
||
|
A251 displays the following information upon successful invocation and |
||
|
|
||
|

|
|
assembly. |
