Announcing Pascal V6.0 for OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers and Alpha
Systems
HP Pascal meets the Federal Information Processing Standard
Publications (FIPS-109) requirements by accepting programs
conforming to
the ANSI standard. Many features from the Extended Pascal Standard
are
also supported. HP Pascal has a solid reputation as a production
quality, high performance, an "Industrial Strength" compiler. It is a
full compiler-not an interpretive one. Tightly integrated with the
Integrity and Alpha architecture, it delivers optimal performance.
HP Pascal for OpenVMS is the only Pascal compiler that runs on
OpenVMS.
It is available for the application developer who requires high
performance, dependability, and commitment to industry standards
with a
proven service and support track record.
New Features:
New SELECT and SELECTONE statements. These new statements are
similar
to the CASE statement but allow for run-time expressions on the select
labels unlike CASE which restricts the program to compile-time
expressions.
The IN and NOT IN binary operators have been extended to accept
string
operands. For strings, IN and NOT IN function the same as the
INDEX(string,substring) function.
The SUBSTR predeclared function has been extended to allow the 3rd
operand to be omitted. When omitted, the SUBSTR function returns the
string from the specified start index to the "end of the string".
A new %FLOAT directive has been added to return the default
floating-point setting. This new directive is useful along with the %IF
conditional compilation facility when porting code from OpenVMS Alpha
to
OpenVMS I64.
Several new directives have been added to define floating constants of
specific formats regardless of the default floating-point setting of the
compilation. These directives are %F_FLOAT, %D_FLOAT, %G_FLOAT,
%S_FLOAT, and %T_FLOAT.
The BIN, OCT, HEX, DEC, and UDEC predeclared functions can now be
used
in constant-expressions. Besides the obvious use in a CONST
declaration, this new feature provides a method for writing numeric
constants with the %MESSAGE, %INFO, %WARN, and %ERROR
directives.
A new BYTE_ALIGNED_POINTERS has been added to the /ASSUME DCL
qualifier.
This new option tells the compiler to assume that pointers refer to
unaligned memory instead of the default assumption that pointers refer
to quadword aligned memory returned via the NEW predeclared
function.
Availability:
HP Pascal V6.0 for OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers and Alpha systems
is
available on the June 2006 OpenVMS Layered Product CD-ROM
Libraries.

ote 6.0 VMS System Manager in Paradise No
replies
EISNER::FERGUSON "Linwood" 36 lines
24-JUL-2006 10:56
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
We need a VMS System manager in Paradise (aka Bonita Springs
Florida)
I've put in the official posting below. It reports to our Director
of
Network Services, but I am familiar with the position so feel free
to
contact me here or LFerguson at SourceInterlink.com.
PS. This is needed in part because we just decided to migrate about
a
third of our business off Unix and onto VMS.
----------------------------------
The Sr. VMS / Unix Administrator will work as part of a team to
manage
a variety of VMS and Unix systems which form the core of much of
Source
Interlink Companies' transactional processing. The primary focus of
this position will be OpenVMS Administration; experience in Unix
administration is desired but not required. Training for Unix
administration will be provided and Unix administration duties will
be
phased in over time.
The position requires extensive knowledge of the VMS operating
system,
related Alpha system architecture and common peripherals, backup
planning and management, networking in a VMS environment,
experience
in
scripting system management functions and a proven track record in
managing 24x7 operations. A thorough and methodical approach to
ensuring reliable system operation is expected, and the ability to
plan
and manage both long term projects and short term support
requests
is
necessary. We expect the candidate to be able to coordinate VMS
activities with developers (including planning for implementation)
and
integrate VMS into a heterogeneous environment.
Position requires at least 7 years experience and a 4 year degree.
Position is located in Bonita Springs, FL. Light travel may be
required (< 2 weeks/year). Occasional after hours and weekend
effort
may be required to accommodate production activities.
