[comp.lang.pascal] Help! Useing Include Files

led@athena.mit.edu (Jay Jungalwala) (01/25/89)

Hi there,

	Well here is my problem, I am writing a pascal program on a VAX
11/780 Running Ultrix (ick) 2.0, useing the standard pascal complier (not
sure which version!) and my book tells me that I can add include files (.h),
like in C, useing two different ways:

1) (*$i filename *)
	Which worked to a point, but when I try and use something that
	is defined in the .h file it dies.

2) %include 'filename'
	Which my book said would work on a Vax machine but it dies and 
	tells me that the % is not right syntax, so I removed the %
	then it tells me that the include is a bad procedure, and etc.


-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
MY BOOK: Pascal with Applications in Science and Engineering
		by Susan Finger and Ellen Finger (c) 1986
( The book I think is very good )
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

So anyway what should I do now?  Which one works?  You can e-mail
me back if you would like, at either one of the address(s) below.

		Thanks in advance.

%include 'filename';   <--- don't forget the semicolon...

Umm... funny thing is that I tried that, and I got the message that the "%"
was in illegal statement or something like that.  SO I was like ok, I guess
my book was wrong.  Well I found out what it should be, well at least in my
version, and that it a "#".  Well thanks anyway.

  Maybe your book is written for the VMS Pascal compiler, which uses
the "%include" syntax (if my memory serves me correctly....)
