The second safeguard is associated with the KEEP command.
writing an existing permanent file.
to a name of a file that already exists, RISE will prompt you as follows:
"File exists already.
This gives you the opportunity to decide whether or not you want to overwrite the pre-existing permanent
file. If you do, you respond "YES" and RISE will execute your KEEP command. If you do not want to lose
the contents of the pre-existing file, you respond "NO" and RISE will cancel the execution so that you can
KEEP to a different file name if you wish.
There will be occasions when you have decided beforehand that immediate execution of the TEXT, FILE,
EXIT, BEGIN, and KEEP commands is precisely what you want. In such an instance, the prompts would
cause unnecessary delays. You have an optional parameter called "NOW" which saves time by disabling
RISE's safeguards. If you specify "NOW" with any of these five commands, RISE will execute immediately
without prompting you to reconsider. You use the parameter when you are certain of the results you want.
Running RISE
To run RISE you enter the following MPE command at your terminal:
RUN RISE.PUB.SYS
Your command will be answered with an HP banner like the one below:
HP32104A.05.00 RPG INTERACTIVE SYSTEM ENVIROHMENT
(C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. 1981
>
With that you have begun the program and entered the RPG Interactive System Environment. Other
MPE commands are available for your use within the system. A list of these commands may be obtained
by typing "HELP:".
The commands are displayed on the screen in Block Mode.
To leave the system you use the EXIT command.
Because of the visual and interactive emphasis in the design of RISE, it is not recommended that you use
it in batch mode.
RISETOUR--A Self-paced Guided Tour of RISE
RISETOUR is a self-paced introduction to RISE. It is on-line and can be called by the following commands:
:RUN RISE.PUB.SYS
HP32104A.05.00 RPG INTERACTIVE SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT
(C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. 1981
>
>GET RISETOUR.PUB.SYS
However, before you initiate RISETOUR, you must have the file SIMCAL in your group and account.
SIMCAL is an RPG source program referenced in RISETOUR (and used extensively in the examples
included in this manual). To get a copy of SIMCAL into your group and account, you can use FCOPY to
copy it from "SIMCAL.PUB.SYS" to "SIMCAL.yourgrp.youracct".
