iECM-86 COMMANDS

5.2.2Other File Operations

In addition to object files, the iECM-86 makes use of include files, log files, and list files. Include files contain commands to be executed by iECM-86. They must contain the exact sequence of ASCII characters that you would enter from the keyboard to execute the command. Include files can be tedious to create with a text editor, so iECM-86 can generate log files that store characters entered by the user. These log files may be used later as include files to recreate command sequences. List files keep a running record of commands entered by the user and the responses generated by iECM-86. Comments can be included in list and log files to make them easier to understand. A comment starts with a semicolon (;) and ends with a carriage return or ESC. The semicolon is considered part of the comment, but the carriage return or ESC is not. The command parser ignores comments but puts them in the list and log files.

The list and log file commands allow for default file names and allow either overwriting existing data in the file or appending data at the end of the file. This allows you to gather list and log data in the default files, which avoids creating and managing a large number of separate files. Log and list files are stamped with the date and time whenever they are opened to facilitate using this capability, then going back to sort out the data from several debug sessions with a text editor.

The following commands are used in include, log, and list operations.

INCLUDE filename

PAUSE

LIST

LIST filename

LOG

LOG filename

LISTOFF

LISTON

LOGOFF

LOGON

Three of these commands require you to supply a valid file name; the rest use the appropriate file name that has already been entered.

INCLUDE filename

This command attempts to open filename as a read-only file. If the

 

 

file can be opened, the command parser takes commands from that

 

 

file until the end of the file is reached. The INCLUDE file is then

 

 

closed. Only one INCLUDE file is opened at a time.

PAUSE

This command is documented in this section because it is intended to

 

 

be used as part of INCLUDE files. It is not really a file-oriented

 

 

command itself. When this command is entered, the iECM-86 stops
