Naming Conventions for HP 3000 Systems and Software

When the 900 Series w as added to the HP 3000 family of computers, Hewlett-P ackard instituted a new naming con vention for HP 3000 softw are products; the addition of the sux "/V" or "/XL" to a product name. Soft ware products that previously had the sux "/3000" now have the sux "/V." For example, the product named IMA GE/3000 is now named IMAGE/V, and the product named COBOL/3000 is no w named HP COBOL/V.

The "/V" sux indicates that a product is designed for use with the MPE V/E operating system. This product can also be used with the MPE/iX operating system running in Compatibilit y Mode. A compiler with the sux "/V" (for example, RPG/V) generates object code that runs under MPE V/E and MPE/iX (in Compatibilit y Mode).

The "/XL" sux indicates that a product is designed for use with MPE/iX running in Native Mode. A compiler with the sux "/XL" (for example, HP COBOL II/XL) generates object code that runs with MPE/iX in Native Mode. Figure 1-3 sho ws an example of naming conventions.

Figure 1-3. HP 3000 Software Naming Conventions Example

Computers in the HP 3000 family that operate under the MPE V/E operating system are frequently called "MPE V/E-based systems. " Computers in the HP 3000 family that operate under the MPE/iX operating system in nativ e mode are frequently called "MPE/iX-based systems. " This includes 900 Series systems.
