With HP COBOL, the syntax for compiling and linking a COBOL program might look like this:
:BUILD HELLOLST;REC=-80,1,F,ASCII;DISC=2000 :COB85XLK HELLOCBL,HELLOEXE,HELLOLST
or like this:
:FILE COBTEXT=HELLOCBL :FILE COBOBJ=HELLOOBJ :FILE COBLIST=HELLOLST :BUILD HELLOLST;REC=-80,1,F,ASCII;DISC=2000 :RUN COBOL.PUB.SYS;PARM=7 :LINK FROM=HELLOOBJ;TO=HELLOEXE
