Using Symbols; To Load Symbols - HP 64782 User Manual

Using Symbols

If symbol information is present in the absolute file, it is loaded along with the
absolute file (unless you use the nosymbols option). Both global symbols and
symbols that are local to a program module can be displayed.
Long symbol names can be truncated in the symbols display; however, you
can increase the width of the symbols display by starting the interface with
more columns (refer to the "Setting X Resources" chapter). This section
describes how to:
•
Load symbols.
•
Display global symbols.
•
Display local symbols.
•
Display a symbol's parent symbol.
•
Copy-and-paste a full symbol name to the entry buffer.

To load symbols

•
Choose File→Load→Symbols Only and use the dialog box to select
the absolute file.
•
Using the command line, enter the load symbols <absolute_file>
command.
Unless you use the nosymbols option when loading absolute files, symbols are
loaded automatically. However, if you did use the nosymbols option when
loading the absolute file, you can load the symbols without loading the
absolute file again.
This option is particularly useful for loading symbols for files located in target
ROM so that you can use symbols with that code.
Examples To load symbols from the demo program:
load symbols ecs.x
