Introduction When application programs are executed under a time sharing executive such as TSX-Plus [1,2] certain capabilities become desirable if not absolutely essential. These capabilities relate to requirements for such things as hardware dependent I/O, shared files, interprogram communication, and others. TSX-Plus provides a number of programmed requests or EMTs for these purposes. This document describes a number of FORTRAN callable routines and their calling sequences that implement these EMTs. All of the routines are callable as FORTRAN subroutines and some are also callable as FORTRAN functions. The routines are writ- ten in MACRO-11 [3]. The code is completely reentrant and, therefore, shareable under TSX-Plus. The next section offers a general description of the sever- al groups of routines. It describes the process for linking the routines to the FORTRAN application program. The general cal- ling sequences are also described. The third section gives a detailed description of each of the individual routines. The descriptions include both the cal- ling sequences and, in most cases, examples. Procedures for constructing the library from the several source modules are given in the fourth section. Appendix A contains a table of the routines listed in func- tional groups. A description of the distribution kit is contained in Appendix B. NOTE TSX-Plus is a registered trademark of S & H Computer Systems Inc., Nashville, TN. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 7 General Description 2. General Description These TSX-Plus library routines provide facilities to sup- port detached jobs, file structured device mounting and dismounting, communication between running programs, program performance analysis, real time program execution, shared run time systems, shared files, communication between running pro- grams and a terminal, program control of the terminal, ODT activation mode, and several miscellaneous EMTs. The standard FORTRAN subroutine calling sequence shown below may be used to access all of the routines in the TSX-Plus library. CALL RTNAM ( ARG1,...,ARGn ) Those routines that return only one value are also callable as FORTRAN functions. This is as follows: IRET = RTNAM ( ARG1,...,ARGn ) The application program is first compiled as follows: .RUN SY:FORTRAN *MYPROG=MYPROG *^C Then the routines are linked with the application program as shown below: .RUN SY:LINK *MYPROG=MYPROG,TSXLIB/F *^C or .RUN SY:LINK *MYPROG=MYPROG,TSXLIB,SYSLIB,FPULIB *^C The application program is now ready for execution. .RUN DK:MYPROG The "TSX-Plus Reference Manual" [1] describes how the EMTs implemented in this TSX-Plus library are accessed from a MACRO-11 program. However, the FORTRAN/MACRO interface des- cribed in the "RT-11 Programmer's Reference Manual" [5] may also be used to access the routines in the library. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 8 General Description Detached Job Support Table 2-1 lists the routines that provide detached job sup- port from within an executing program. ISTDJ Get the status of a detached job. KLDTJB Kill a detached job. STDTJB Start a detached job. Detached job support. Table 2-1. Device Mounting and Dismounting It is possible to mount and dismount a file structured device for directory caching from within a running program. The routines listed in Table 2-2 provide these capabilities. DISMNT Dismount a file structured device. MOUNT Mount a file structured device. Device mounting and dismounting. Table 2-2. Interprogram Message Communication TSX-Plus provides an optional facility that allows running programs to communicate with each other. Table 2-3 lists the routines that support this interprogram message communication. MSGSND Send a message to another job. RCVMSG Try to receive a message from another job. RCVMSW Wait for a message from another job. Interprogram message ãommunication. Table 2-3. Messages are transferred between programs by using named message channels. A message channel accepts a message from a sending program, stores the message in a queue associated with the channel, and delivers the message to a receiving program on its request for a message on the channel. Message channels are separate from I/O channels. Each active message channel has associated with it an ASCII character name that is used by both the sending and receiving programs to identify the channel. The names associated with the channels are defined dynamically by the running programs. A message channel is active when messages are being held in the queue associated with the channel or if a program is waiting for a message from the channel. When message channels become inac- tive they are returned to a free pool and may then be reused. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 9 General Description Once a message is queued on a channel, that message will remain in the queue until some program receives it. A program's exiting to the keyboard monitor does not remove any pending mes- sages. This allows one program to leave a message for another program that will be run at a later time. Performance Analysis Support For many applications the keyboard monitor level perfor- mance analysis control provided by TSX-Plus is adequate. Specifically, in cases such as analyzing the performance of an overlayed program it is necessary to have control over the per- formance analysis feature from the running program. The routines listed in Table 2-4 provide just this capability. INITPA Initialize for a performance analysis. ISPPA Stop a performance analysis. ISTPA Start a performance analysis. TERMPA Terminate from a performance analysis. Performance analysis support. Table 2-4. Real Time Program Support The real time program support provided by TSX-Plus allows multiple real time programs to be run concurrently with normal time sharing operations. The basic functions provided by this facility are listed in Table 2-5. A program must have operator privilege to use any of the real time routines. The real time facilities are available to both normal jobs controlled by time sharing lines and to detached jobs. Detached jobs started by time sharing users have operator privilege only if the user starting them does. A basic facility required by many real time programs is the ability to access the I/O page which contains the peripheral device registers. A normal time sharing job does not have this access. It is instead mapped to a simulated RMON. This allows programs that directly access offsets into RMON to run correct- ly. A real time program can access the I/O page in one of two ways. It can map the I/O page into the program's space, or it can leave the simulated RMON mapped into the program's space and perform peek, poke, bit set, and bit clear operations into the I/O page. It is much more efficient to directly access the dev- ice registers by mapping the I/O page into the program's space than to use the routines to perform each individual access. However, this technique will not work if the program must also directly access offsets into RMON. The correct way to access offsets into RMON is with the SYSLIB routine, ISPY, which will TSX-Plus Library PAGE 10 General Description work even if the I/O page is mapped into the program's space. CNVAPA Convert a virtual address to a physical address. IBICIO Bit clear a value into the I/O page. IBISIO Bit set a value into the I/O page. ICNINT Connect an interrupt vector to a completion routine. ICNRTN Connect a service routine to an interrupt vec- tor. IPEKIO Peek at a value in the I/O page. IPOKIO Poke a value into the I/O page. IRLINT Release an interrupt vector connection. ITCRTN Trigger a completion routine from an interrupt service routine. IUNLKM Unlock a job from memory. LKANMY Lock a job into any memory. LKLOMY Lock a job into low memory. MPIOPS Map the I/O page into the program space. MPRGN Map a region of virtual memory to a specified region of physical memory. MPRMPS Map the simulated RMON into the program space. RLCTL Relinquish exclusive control of the system. STPRLV Set the user mode processor priority level. TKCTL Take exclusive control of the system. Real time program support. Table 2-5. The TSX-Plus real time support facility provides two methods to connect real time interrupts to TSX-Plus jobs. The first of these methods uses the mechanism of completion routines to perform the connection. The second method provides a more direct connection between interrupts and service routines in TSX-Plus jobs. Once a connection is established the routine, completion or service, is executed each time the specified interrupt occurs. It is possible for several interrupt vectors to be connected to the same completion routine in a job but it is illegal for more than one job to connect to the same inter- rupt vector. With the first method an interrupt causes a completion routine to be queued for the job that was connected to the interrupt vector. This method is very general and allows the completion routine to call for system services (execute EMTs). Also the job does not have to be locked in memory. The second method sets up conditions for the job being called and enters the interrupt service routine. This approach minimizes the overhead in entering the service routine. Hence, the service routine method can process interrupts at a greater rate than can be processed using the completion routine method. There are restrictions imposed on a program using the ser- vice routine method. Specifically, the following conditions must be met to directly connect to an interrupt: TSX-Plus Library PAGE 11 General Description 1. The job must be locked in memory before connecting it to the interrupt vector and must remain locked in memory as long as the interrupt connection is in effect. 2. The processing done by the service routine should not be very lengthy since other interrupts may be queued up during execution of the service routine. 3. Only two system services may be legally called from within the service routine. They are the SYSLIB routine, RESUME, and the TSXLIB routine, ITCRTN. The interrupt service routine runs in user mode and uses memory mapping that has been established for the job before the interrupt occurs. Access to the I/O page via the MPIOPS routine is possible provided this mapping has been set up in the main- line code before the interrupt occurs. If an interrupt service routine needs to perform a system service other than the RESUME call listed above, it should trigger a completion routine via a call to ITCRTN and have the completion routine call for the required system service(s). An execution priority may be specified for each completion routine. This is not the same as the hardware selected priority of the interrupt. All completion routines are synchronized with the job and run at hardware priority level zero. The completion routine priority is used to schedule completion routines for execution. The available priority levels are zero through seven. The execution of a real time completion routine for one job will be interrupted and suspended if an interrupt occurs that causes a higher priority completion routine for another job to be queued for execution. However, a completion routine for a given job will never be interrupted to run another completion routine for the same job even if a higher priority completion routine is pending. Completion routine priorities one through seven are real time priorities. They are higher than the priorities given to time sharing jobs and will always preempt the time sharing jobs. Completion routine priority zero is not a real time priority but rather a very high normal priority. Such zero priority comple- tion routines are time sliced in the normal fashion. If a completion routine enters a wait state it relinquishes its real time priority. Jobs that have real time, interrupt driven com- pletion routines need not be locked in memory. In time critical, real time applications where a program must respond to an interrupt with minimum delay, it may be necessary for the job to lock itself in memory to avoid the time consumed in program swapping. This facility should be used with caution since if a number of large programs are locked in memory there may not be enough space left to run other programs. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 12 General Description A running program may gain exclusive access to the system to perform some time-critical task. The program may then relin- quish this exclusive access when it is not needed. A running program may also set the user mode priority level and map a region of virtual memory to a specified region of physical memo- ry. Shared Run Time System Support TSX-Plus provides a facility that allows shared run time systems or data areas to be mapped into the address spaces of multiple time sharing jobs. Table 2-6 lists the routines that support this feature. IASRNT Associate/disassociate a shared run time system with a job. MAPRNT Map a shared run time system into a job's region. Shared run time system support. Table 2-6. Memory space can be conserved by having several jobs access a common copy of a run time system rather than having to allo- cate space within each job. Shared run time systems are never swapped out of memory. When a job is associated with a run time system, a portion of the job's virtual memory is mapped so as to allow access to the run time system. Shared File Support Table 2-7 lists the routines that offer access to the shared file record locking facility provided by TSX-Plus. This is useful in situations where programs being run from several terminals wish to update a common file. Through the record locking facility a program may gain exclusive access to one or more blocks in a shared file by locking those blocks. Other users attempting to lock the same blocks will be denied access until the first user releases the locked blocks. ICKWTS Check for writes to a shared file. IDCLSF Declare a file to be shared. ISVST Save the status of a shared file. IUALBK Unlock all locked blocks. IUSPBK Unlock a specific block. LKBLK Try to lock a block. LKBLKW Wait for a block to lock. Shared file support. Table 2-7. The recommended procedure for updating a shared file being accessed by several users is as follows: TSX-Plus Library PAGE 13 General Description 1. Open the file. 2. Declare the file to be shared. 3. Lock all blocks which contain the desired record. 4. Read the locked blocks into memory. 5. Update the record. 6. Write the updated blocks to the file. 7. Unlock the blocks. 8. Repeat steps three through seven as required. 9. Close the file. System Status Information Information typical of that returned by the SYSTAT keyboard command is made available to a running program by the routines listed in Table 2-8. ICONTM Determine the connect time for a job. ICPUTM Get the CPU time used by a job. IEXSTS Get a job's execution status. ILNSTS Check the status of a line. IPGNAM Get the name of the program being run by a job. IPPNUM Get the project-programmer number for a job. MEMPOS Determine the position of a job in memory. MEMUSE Determine the amount of memory used by a job. System status information. Table 2-8. Terminal Communications Support The routines that allow a running program to communicate with a terminal are listed in Table 2-9. TRMIN Accept a string of characters from the terminal. TRMMSG Send a message to another terminal. TRMOUT Send a string of characters to the terminal. Terminal ãommunications support. Table 2-9. Terminal Control Support The terminal control support routines are listed in Table 2-10. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 14 General Description BRKCTL Establish break sentinal control. HIEFOF Turn off the high efficiency terminal mode. HIEFON Turn on the high efficiency terminal mode. IACTCH Check for pending activation characters. ITRCTL Perform lead-in character type terminal control functions. ITRERR Check for terminal input errors. ITRTYP Determine the terminal type. TIMOUT Set the terminal read time out value. Terminal control support. Table 2-10. Miscellaneous EMT Support Table 2-11 lists the routines that support the several mis- cellaneous EMTs provided by TSX-Plus. GTUNAM Get the user name associated with the current job. IFLINF Obtain some information about a file. ISPBLK Determine the number of free blocks in the spool file. ISPCTL Control the release time of a spooled file. ISPY Return values from within the simulated RMON (SYSLIB routine). ISTFTM Set the creation time of a file. ITSLIC Determine the TSX-Plus license number. ITSLIN Determine the TSX-Plus line number. ISTPRV Set the current job's priority value. MEMSET Set the memory allocation. STUNAM Set the user name associated with the current job. Miscellaneous EMT support. Table 2-11. ODT Activation Mode Support ODT activation mode may be turned on and off from within a running program. Table 2-12 lists the routines that support this feature. In this mode TSX-Plus considers all characters to be activation characters except the digits, the comma, the dol- lar sign and the semicolon. RSRODT Reset normal activation mode. SETODT Set ODT activation mode. ODT activation mode support. Table 2-12. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 15 Routine Descriptions 3. Routine Descriptions This section presents all of the TSX-Plus routines in alphabetical order and provides a detailed description of each one. The FORTRAN calling sequence and where appropriate an example of each call in a FORTRAN program is given. The user should be thoroughly familiar with the general description of this TSX-Plus library given in the previous sec- tion of this document. Additional information is available in the "TSX-Plus Reference Manual" [1] and the "RT-11 Programmer's Reference Manual" [5]. Some of these TSXLIB routines require calls to various SYSLIB routines. In the following descriptions, arguments enclosed in square brackets, [], are optional. BRKCTL This routine is used to declare a completion routine that will be triggered when the BREAK key or a declared key on the terminal is pressed. The calling sequence is: CALL BRKCTL ( IBRKCH,CPLRTN ) where: IBRKCH is the value of the character that is to be used for the break control. CPLRTN is the name of the completion routine to be exe- cuted when the break character is pressed. The specified completion routine will be entered when either the BREAK key or the declared key is pressed. If no declared key is wanted specify a value of zero for IBRKCH. On some systems the console terminal BREAK key causes entry into console ODT and for this reason requires a declared key value. Only one break routine may be specified at a time for each user. If a break routine was previously specified, it is can- celled when a new break routine is declared. If a value of zero is specified for the name of the completion routine, CPLRTN, any previously specified break routine is cancelled. The following example first declares the completion routine as an external, then establishes break sentinel control using the letter H, and later cancells the control. EXTERNAL CPLRTN IBRKCH = 72 TSX-Plus Library PAGE 16 Routine Descriptions . . CALL BRKCTL ( IBRKCH,CPLRTN ) . . CALL BRKCTL ( 0,0 ) . . CNVAPA This routine is used to convert a virtual address into a physical address. This is necessary when controlling devices that do direct memory access transfers. The program should lock itself into memory before executing this routine. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL CNVAPA ( IVADR,IPADR [ ,IERR ] ) where: IVADR is the virtual address that is to be converted. IPADR is the name of the two element buffer into which the physical address is to be returned. IERR is negative or the following: 0 real time support is not available or this job does not have operator privilege. The low order sixteen bits of the physical address are returned in the first element of the buffer, IPADR, and the high order bits of the physical address are returned in bit positions four through nine of the second element of the buffer. The following example first locks itself into memory then converts a virtual address to a physical address. The program is halted if the error condition is returned. DIMENSION IPADR ( 2 ) CALL LKANMY CALL CNVAPA ( "54720,IPADR,IERR ) IF ( IERR .EQ. 0 ) STOP . . DISMNT This routine is used to dismount a file structured device. This causes TSX-Plus to stop doing directory caching of the dev- ice. The effect of this routine is the same as the TSX-Plus DISMOUNT keyboard command. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL DISMNT ( IDVNAM ) TSX-Plus Library PAGE 17 Routine Descriptions where: IDVNAM is the RAD50 value of the file structured device name. The following example uses the SYSLIB routine, IRAD50, to convert the ASCII value of the device name, DL:, to its RAD50 value. It then mounts the device and later dismounts it. CALL IRAD50 ( 3,'DL ',IDVNAM ) CALL MOUNT ( IDVNAM ) . . CALL DISMNT ( IDVNAM ) . . GTUNAM This routine is used to get the user name associated with the current job. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL GTUNAM ( USRNAM ) where: USRNAM is the name of the twelve-character array that is to receive the user name ASCII string. The following example declares the byte array and then gets the user name. LOGICAL*1 USRNAM(18) CALL GTUNAM ( USRNAM ) . . HIEFOF This routine is used to turn the high efficiency terminal mode off. The calling sequence in as follows: CALL HIEFOF The following example first turns high efficiency terminal mode on and later turns it off. CALL HIEFON . . CALL HIEFOF . . TSX-Plus Library PAGE 18 Routine Descriptions HIEFON This routine is used to turn the high efficiency terminal mode on. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL HIEFON TSX-Plus offers a high efficiency mode of terminal opera- tion that eliminates a substantial amount of system overhead for terminal character processing by reducing the amount of process- ing that is done on each character. When in high efficiency mode, characters are sent directly to the terminal with minimum handling by TSX-Plus. Operations such as expanding tabs to spaces and form feeds to line feeds are omitted as well as input processing such as echoing characters and recognizing control characters such as rubout, control-U and control-C. The only characters treated specially on input are user defined activa- tion characters and the user specified break character. At least one user specified activation character must be declared if high efficiency mode is to be used. This form of terminal I/O is designed to facilitate high speed machine to machine com- munication. It can be used effectively with buffered mode terminals. IACTCH This routine is used to determine if any activation characters have been received by the line but not yet accepted by the program. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL IACTCH ( IRET ) or IRET = IACTCH () where: IRET is one of the following: 0 no activation character is pending. 1 at least one activation character is pending. IASRNT This routine is used to associate a shared run time system with a job. It is also used to disassociate all shared run time systems from a job. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL IASRNT ( IRNTIM [ ,IERR ] ) or IERR = IASRNT ( IRNTIM ) where: IRNTIM is the six character RAD50 value of the name of the shareable run time system. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 19 Routine Descriptions IERR is one of the following: 0 no error. 1 run time system name not recognized. The effect of this routine is to associate a particular shareable run time system with the job. However, this routine does not affect the memory mapping for the job or make the run time system visible to the job. That is done by the MAPRNT routine described later. If some other run time system has been previously mapped into the job's region, that mapping is unaf- fected by this routine. Thus it is possible to have multiple run time systems mapped into the job's region by associating and mapping them one at a time into different regions of the job's virtual memory space. If the name pointer, IRNTIM, is set to zero, this routine causes all run time systems to become disassociated from the job and reestablishes normal memory mapping for the job. The following example uses the SYSLIB routine, IRAD50, to declare the name of the run time system and then associates it with the job. If the error condition is returned the program is halted. DIMENSION IRNTIM ( 2 ) CALL IRAD50 ( 6,'TSXLIB',IRNTIM ) IERR = IASRNT ( IRNTIM ) IF ( IERR .EQ. 1 ) STOP . . IBICIO This routine is used to perform a bit clear operation into a word in the I/O page without requiring the job's virtual address region to be mapped to the I/O page. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL IBICIO ( IADR,IVAL [ ,IERR ] ) or IERR = IBICIO ( IADR,IVAL ) where: IADR is the address of the word in the I/O page to be accessed. IVAL is the value to be bit cleared into the I/O page. IERR is negative or the following: 0 real time support is not available or this job does not have operator privilege.

The calling sequence is as follows: CALL ISTPRV ( IPRVAL ) where: IPRVAL is an integer priority value in the range of 0 through 99. ISVST This routine is used to save the status of a shared file. The effect of this routine is to suspend the connection between the shared file table and the I/O channel. Any blocks that the file remain locked until the channel is reopened to the file by using the SYSLIB routine, IREOPN. After return from this routine the channel may be freed by using the SYSLIB routine, PURGE. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL ISVST ( ICHAN ) where: ICHAN is the I/O channel number open to the shared file. When using a single channel number to access several shared files it is for each file convenient to initially open the file, declare the file to be shared and to save the status of the file with the SYSLIB routine, ISAVES. The channel being used to access the set of files can then be switched from one file to another with the SYSLIB routines, PURGE and IREOPN. However, before doing the PURGE, TSX-Plus must be told that you wish to save the shared file status of the file (otherwise all locked blocks will be unlocked and the file will be removed from the shared file list). The following example opens a file, declares it to be shared and then saves the status of the file for TSX-Plus. CALL ASSIGN ( 30,'DK:SOME.FIL' ) ICHAN = ILUN ( 30 ) CALL IDCLSF ( ICHAN,4 ) . .

If the requested block is not available the routine returns immediately with an error code. If the block is available it is locked for the requesting user and no error is reported. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL LKBLK ( ICHAN,IBLOCK [ ,IERR ] ) or IERR = ( ICHAN,IBLOCK ) where: ICHAN is the I/O channel number open to the shared file. IBLOCK is the number of the block to be locked. IERR is one of the following: 0 no error. 1 this channel is not open to a shared file. 2 request is to lock too many blocks in the file. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 44 Routine Descriptions 3 the requested block is locked by another user. The following example opens a file, declares the file to be shared and tries to lock a block in the file. If the block is already locked the program loops back for another try and if an error condition is returned the program halts. CALL ASSIGN ( 40,'DY1:JUNK.DAT' ) ICHAN = ILUN ( 40 ) CALL IDCLSF ( ICHAN,2 ) 10 CONTINUE IERR = LKBLK ( ICHAN,3 ) IF ( IERR .EQ. 3 ) GO TO 10 IF ( IERR .NE. 0 ) STOP . . LKBLKW This routine is used to wait for a specific block to lock in a shared file. If the requested block is locked by another job, the requesting job will be suspended until the desired block becomes available. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL LKBLKW ( ICHAN,IBLOCK [ ,IERR ] ) or IERR = LKBLKW ( ICHAN,IBLOCK ) where: ICHAN is the I/O channel number open to the shared file. IBLOCK is the number of the block to be locked. IERR is one of the following: 0 no error. 1 this channel is not open to a shared file. 2 request is to lock too many blocks in the file. Other blocks in the file which were previously locked remain locked. A block number of minus one can be used to request that all blocks in the file be locked. If several users request the same block, access will be granted sequentially in the order that the requests are received. The following example opens a file, declares the file to be shared, and locks all of the blocks in the file. If an error condition is returned the program stops. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 45 Routine Descriptions CALL ASSIGN ( 40,'DK:FILE.DAT' ) ICHAN = ILUN ( 40 ) CALL IDCLSF = ( ICHAN,0 ) IERR = LKBLKW ( ICHAN,-1 ) IF ( IERR .NE. 0 ) STOP . . LKLOMY This routine is used to lock a job into low memory. It causes the job to be relocated into low memory and then to become locked there. This type of lock is relatively slow and should be done only if the job is to remain locked for a long period of time. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL LKLOMY [ IERR ] or IERR = LKLOMY () where: IERR is negative or the following: 0 real time support is not available or this job does not have operator privilege. The job remains locked in memory until the program termi- nates or until the routine, IUNLKM, is executed. The following example locks the job into low memory aborting if the error condition is returned. IERR = LKLOMY () IF ( IERR .EQ. 0 ) STOP . . MAPRNT This routine is used to map a shareable run time system into a job's region. The run time system must first be associ- ated with the job by executing the IASRNT routine described earlier. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL MAPRNT ( IPAR,IOFFST,MAPSIZ [ ,IERR ] ) or IERR = MAPRNT ( IPAR,IOFFST,MAPSIZ ) where: IPAR is a number in the range of zero to seven that indicates the job's page address register (PAR) that is to be used to access the run time sys- tem. The PAR number selects the region of virtual memory in the job that will be mapped to the run time system. The following correspon- TSX-Plus Library PAGE 46 Routine Descriptions dence exists between PAR numbers and virtual octal address regions within the job: 0 000000 - 017777 1 020000 - 037777 2 040000 - 057777 3 060000 - 077777 4 100000 - 117777 5 120000 - 137777 6 140000 - 157777 7 160000 - 177777 IOFFST specifies which portion of the run time system is to be mapped into the PAR region. It speci- fies the number of the 64-byte block within the run time system where mapping is to begin. This makes it possible to access different sections of a run time system at different times or through different regions. MAPSIZ is the number of 64-byte blocks to be mapped. If this value is larger than can be contained within a single PAR region, multiple PAR regions are automatically mapped as necessary to contain the entire specified section of the run time system. IERR is one of the following: 0 no error. 1 there is no run time system associated with this job. This routine affects the mapping of only the PAR region specified in IPAR and following PARs if the size so requires. It does not affect the mapping of any other PAR regions that may previously have been mapped to a run time system. Thus, a job may have different PAR regions mapped to different sections of the same run time system or to different run time systems. Real time programs may map PAR region number seven to the I/O page and map other PAR regions to shared run time systems. The memory size of a job is not affected by the use of the this routine. Mapping a portion of a job's virtual address space to a shared run time system neither increases nor decreases the size of memory occupied by the job. If a job's size is such that a portion of its normal memory is under a PAR region that is mapped to a run time system, that section of its normal memory becomes inaccessible to the job as long as the run time system mapping is in effect but the memory contents are not lost and may be reaccessed by disassociating all run time sys- tems from the job. Any of the PAR regions may be mapped to a run time system TSX-Plus Library PAGE 47 Routine Descriptions including PAR region number seven which is normally not accessi- ble to a job. The following example first uses the SYSLIB routine, IRAD50, to name the run time system, associates the run time system with the job, then maps a PAR region to a section of the run time system, and finally disassociates the run time system from the job. DIMENSION IRNTIM ( 2 ) CALL IRAD50 ( 6,'TSXLIB',IRNTIM ) CALL IASRNT ( IRNTIM ) CALL MAPRNT ( 3,1,4 ) . . CALL IASRNT ( 0 ) . . MEMPOS This routine is used to determine the position of a job in memory for a TSX-Plus line. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL MEMPOS ( LINUM,IPOS [ ,IERR ] ) where: LINUM is the number of the line for which memory posi- tion information is returned. IPOS is the 512-word block number of the start of the memory area allocated to the job. This value will be zero if the job is swapped out of memo- ry. IERR is negative or one of the following: 0 line is not currently logged on. 2 invalid line number. MEMSET This routine is used to set the amount of memory that will be allocated for the job. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL MEMSET ( IARG [ ,IRET ] ) or IRET = MEMSET ( IARG ) where: IARG is the top memory address requested. IRET is the top memory address allocated. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 48 Routine Descriptions The size allocated to a job reverts to the size specified by the most recent MEMORY keyboard command when the job exits or chains. The following example requests a top memory address of 120000 (octal). The program is halted if the allocation is less than the request. DATA IARG/"120000/ IRET = MEMSET ( IARG ) IF ( IRET .LT. IARG ) STOP . . MEMUSE This routine is used to return the amount of memory allo- cated to a TSX-Plus line. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL MEMUSE ( LINUM,MEMSIZ [ ,IERR ] ) where: LINUM is the number of the line about which memory allocation information is returned. MEMSIZ is the amount of memory allocated to the line in 512-word blocks. IERR is negative or one of the following: 0 line is not currently logged on. 2 invalid line number. MOUNT This routine is used to mount a file structured device for directory caching. The effect of this routine is the same as the TSX-Plus MOUNT keyboard command. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL MOUNT ( IDVNAM [ ,IERR ] ) or IERR = MOUNT ( IDVNAM ) where: IDVNAM is the RAD50 value of the device name. IERR is one of the following: 0 no error. 1 no room left in the table of mounted devices. The following example uses the SYSLIB routine, IRAD50, to TSX-Plus Library PAGE 49 Routine Descriptions convert the ASCII device name, DY3, to its RAD50 value. Then the file structured device is mounted. The program is halted if an error condition is returned. CALL IRAD50 ( 3,'DY3',IDVNAM ) IERR = MOUNT ( IDVNAM ) IF ( IERR .EQ. 1 ) STOP . . MPIOPS This routine is used to map the I/O page into the program space between the octal addresses of 160000 and 177777. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL MPIOPS The mapping set up by this routine remains in effect until the routine, MPRMPS, is executed or the program terminates. Operator privilege is required to execute this routine. MPRGN This routine is used to map a region of virtual memory to a specified region of physical memory. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL MPRGN ( IPAR,IPAD,ISIZ,IACS [ ,IERR ] ) or IERR = MPRGN ( IPAR,IPAD,ISIZ,IACS ) where: IPAR is one of the following Page Address Register (PAR) numbers indicating the beginning of the virtual region to be mapped: PAR Virtual Region 0 000000-017777 1 020000-037777 2 040000-057777 3 060000-077777 4 100000-177777 5 120000-137777 6 140000-157777 7 160000-177777 IPAD is the physical address devided by 100 (octal) to which the virtual address is to be mapped. ISIZ is the number of 100-byte (octal) pages to be mapped. If zero all PAR mapping is restored to normal. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 50 Routine Descriptions IACS indicates the read/write access of the mapped region as follows: 0 Read only. 1 Read and write. IERR is negative or the following: 0 real time support is not available or this job does not have operator privilege. Operator privilege is required to execute this routine. MPRMPS This routine is used to map a simulated RMON into the pro- gram space between the octal addresses of 160000 and 177777. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL MPRMPS Operator privilege is required to execute this routine. MSGSND This routine is used to queue up a message to another job on a named channel. If other messages are already pending on the channel, the new message is added to the end of the list of waiting messages. The sending program continues execution and does not wait for the message to be accepted by a receiving pro- gram. During processing the message is copied to an internal buffer, and the sending program is free to destroy its message on return from this routine. The calling sequences are as fol- lows: CALL MSGSND ( ICHNAM,MSGBUF,MSGSIZ [ ,IERR ] ) or IERR = MSGSND ( ICHNAM,MSGBUF,MSGSIZ ) where: ICHNAM is the six ASCII character name of the message channel. MSGBUF is the name of the string array containing the message. MSGSIZ is the length of the message in characters. IERR is one of the following: 0 no error. 1 all message channels are busy. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 51 Routine Descriptions 2 the maximum allowed number of messages are being held in the message queues. 4 the transmitted message was too long and was truncated to the maximum allowed length. The following example uses the SYSLIB routine, SCOPY, to load the string variables, MSGBUF and ICHNAM, then sends a mes- sage to the named channel, JUNK. The program aborts if an error condition is returned. LOGICAL*1 MSGBUF ( 14 ) LOGICAL*1 ICHNAM ( 8 ) CALL SCOPY ( ' HELLO THERE',MSGBUF,12 ) CALL SCOPY ( 'JUNK ',ICHNAM,6 ) IERR = MSGSND ( ICHNAM,MSGBUF,12 ) IF ( IERR .NE. 0 ) STOP . . RCVMSG This routine is used to receive a message from a named channel if a message is pending on the channel. If no message is pending, an error code is returned, and the calling program is allowed to continue execution. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL RCVMSG ( ICHNAM,MSGBUF,IBUFSZ,MSGSIZ [ ,IERR ] ) where: ICHNAM is the six ASCII character name of the message channel. MSGBUF is the name of the receiving string array. IBUFSZ is the length of the receiving buffer in characters. MSGSIZ is the length of the received message in characters. IERR is one of the following: 0 no error. A message was received. 3 no message was queued on the named channel. 4 the message was longer than the receiving buffer. The following example sets up using the SYSLIB routine, SCOPY, to receive a message, and then attempts to receive a mes- sage on the named channel, JUNK. The program is stopped if an error condition is returned. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 52 Routine Descriptions LOGICAL*1 ICHNAM ( 8 ) LOGICAL*1 MSGBUF ( 72 ) CALL SCOPY ( 'JUNK ',ICHNAM,6) CALL RCVMSG ( ICHNAM,MSGBUF,72,MSGSIZ,IERR) IF ( IERR .NE. 0 ) STOP . . RCVMSW This routine is used to suspend the execution of a program until a message becomes available on a named channel. The cal- ling sequence is as follows: CALL RCVMSW ( ICHNAM,MSGBUF,IBUFSZ,MSGSIZ [ ,IERR ] ) where: ICHNAM is the six ASCII character name of the message channel. MSGBUF is the name of the receiving string array. IBUFSZ is the length of the receiving array in characters. MSGSIZ is the length of the received message in characters. IERR is one of the following: 0 a message has been received. 1 all message channels are busy. 4 the message was longer than the receiving buffer. The following example uses the SYSLIB routine, SCOPY, to load the variable, ICHNAM, then waits for a message to arrive on the named channel. The program is stopped if an error condition is returned. LOGICAL*1 MSGBUF ( 72 ) LOGICAL*1 ICHNAM ( 8 ) CALL SCOPY ( 'JUNK ',ICHNAM,6 ) CALL RCVMSW ( ICHNAM,MSGBUF,IBUFSZ,MSGSIZ,IERR) IF ( IERR .NE. 0 ) STOP . . RLCTL This routine is used to allow a running program to relinqu- ish exclusive control of the system after the program finishes TSX-Plus Library PAGE 53 Routine Descriptions performing some time-critical task. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL RLCTL Operator privilege is required to execite this routine. RSTODT This routine is used to reset or clear the ODT activation mode. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL RSTODT SETODT This routine is used to set the ODT activation mode. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL SETODT In this mode TSX-Plus considers all characters to be activation characters except the digits, the comma, the dollar sign, and the semicolon. STDTJB This routine is used to start the execution of a detached job. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL STDTJB ( JOBNAM,JOBNUM [ ,IERR ] ) where: JOBNAM is the ASCII string, dev:filnam.ext, terminated by a null byte. JOBNUM is the returned job number. IERR is one of the following: 0 no error. 1 no detached job line is available. If a free detached job line is available, the specified command file, JOBNAM, is initiated as a detached job and the number of the detached job is returned in the variable, JOBNUM. The following example uses the SYSLIB routine, SCOPY, to load the variable, JOBNAM, then initiates the detached job, DETJOB.COM, from device, DY2:, storing the job number in the variable, JOBNUM. The program is terminated if an error condi- tion is returned. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 54 Routine Descriptions LOGICAL*1 JOBNAM ( 16 ) CALL SCOPY ( 'DY2:DETJOB.COM',JOBNAM,14) CALL STDTJB ( JOBNAM,JOBNUM,IERR ) IF ( IERR .EQ. 1 ) STOP . . STPRLV This routine is used to set the user mode processor priority level from a running program. This may be used when it is necessary for a real time program to block interrupts for a short period of time while it is performing some time critical operation. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL STPRLV ( IPRLVL ) where: IPRLVL is the desired user mode processor priority level in the range of zero through seven. Operator privilege is required to execute this routine. Interrupts should not be disabled for long periods of time or system clock interrupts and character input interrupts will be lost. The following example raises the priority level to seven and later reduces it back to zero. CALL STPRLV ( 7 ) . . CALL STPRLV ( 0 ) . . STUNAM This routine is used to set the user name associated with the current job. The calling sequences are as follows: CALL STUNAM ( USRNAM [ , IERR ] ) or IERR = STUNAM ( USRNAM ) where: USRNAM is the name of the twelve-character array that contains the new user name ASCII string. IERR is negative or as follows: 0 the job does not have operator privilege. The following example sets the user name to JOEBLOWHARD. LOGICAL*1 USRNAM(14) CALL SCOPY ( 'JOEBLOWHARD',USRNAM ) TSX-Plus Library PAGE 55 Routine Descriptions IERR = STUNAM ( USRNAM ) IF ( IERR .GE. 0 ) STOP . . TERMPA This routine is used to conclude a performance analysis. It has the effect of returning into a user supplied buffer the results of the analysis and freeing the performance analysis feature for use by other users. The calling sequence is as fol- lows: CALL TERMPS ( IPARBF,IHSTBF,IHBSIZ [ ,IERR ] ) where: IPARBF is the name of a four element parameter buffer with the elements assigned as follows: 1 is the base address of the monitored region. 2 is the top address of the monitored region. 3 is the number of bytes per histogram cell. 4 is a control and status flag with bit assign- ments as follows: 1 I/O wait time was included. 100000 at least one of the histogram cells overflowed. IHSTBF is the name of the histogram buffer. IHBSIZ is the number of elements or cells in the histo- gram buffer. IERR is negative or one of the following: 0 this job is not doing a performance analysis. 1 area provided for the histogram count vector is too small. The histogram data returned consists of a vector of 16-bit binary values, one value for each cell in the histogram. The first value corresponds to the histogram cell that starts at the base address of the region that was monitored. The following example shows the complete performance ana- lysis from initialization to termination. The program is stopped if an error condition is returned on termination of the analysis. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 56 Routine Descriptions DIMENSION IPARBF ( 4 ) DIMENSION IHSTBF ( 16 ) CALL INITPA ( "2000,"4000,"100,0 ) CALL ISTPA . . CALL ISPPA CALL TERMPA ( IPARBF,IHSTBF,IHBSIZ,IERR ) IF ( IERR .GE. 0 ) STOP . . TIMOUT This routine is used to set the time out value that is to be applied to the next terminal input operation. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL TIMOUT ( ITIME,IACTCH ) where: ITIME is the time out value in 0.5 second units. IACTCH is the value of the single character that is to be returned as the last or activation character of the field if a time out occurs. The value specified with this routine applies only to the next terminal input field. The time value is reset when the next field is received from the terminal or the time out occurs. A new time out value must be specified for each input field that is to be time controlled. The following example uses a time out value of twenty seconds and specifies that a control-X is to be returned if the timeout occurs. . . CALL TIMOUT ( 40,24 ) . . TKCTL This routine is used to allow a running program to gain exclusive access To the system to perform some time-critical task. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL TKCTL The effect of this routine is to cause the TSX-Plus job scheduler to ignore all other jobs during the interval that the calling program has exclusive control of the system. Operator TSX-Plus Library PAGE 57 Routine Descriptions privilege is required to execute this routine. Exclusive access is relinquished when the calling program calls RLCTL, terminates, or aborts. Exclusive access is retained if the calling program chains to another program. TRMIN This routine is used to accept a string of characters from the terminal. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL TRMIN ( ICHBUF,IBFSIZ,ICOUNT [ ,IERR ] ) where: ICHBUF is the name of the buffer that is to receive the string. IBFSIZ is the length of the receiving buffer in characters. ICOUNT is the number of characters actually received. IERR is one of the following: 0 no error. 1 the specified buffer overflowed. This routine causes a program to wait until an activation character is entered on the terminal and then returns all characters received up to and including the last activation character. This routine is substancially more efficient than doing a series of the SYSLIB routin ITTINR. It is particularly well suited for accepting input from page buffered terminals. The following example accepts a string of characters from the terminal. The program is halted if the error condition is returned. LOGICAL*1 ICHBUF ( 24 ) CALL TRMIN ( ICHBUF,24,ICOUNT,IERR ) IF ( IERR .EQ. 1 ) STOP . . TRMMSG This routine is used to send a message to another line's terminal. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL TRMMSG ( ILINE,IMSGBF ) where: ILINE is the line number of the terminal that the mes- sage is to be sent. TSX-Plus Library PAGE 58 Routine Descriptions IMSGBF is the name of the buffer that contains the message. The message must be terminated with a null character. The following example sends a message to the terminal con- nected to line 14. LOGICAL*1 IMSGBF ( 30 ) CALL SCOPY ( ' THIS IS THE MESSAGE',IMSGBF,20 ) CALL TRMMSG ( 14,IMSGBF ) . . TRMOUT This routine is used to send a string of characters to the terminal. The calling sequence is as follows: CALL TRMOUT ( ICHSTR,ICOUNT ) where: ICHSTR is the name of the buffer containing the string of characters. ICOUNT is the number of characters in the string. This routine is much more efficient to use than a series of the SYSLIB routine, ITTOUR. It has the same efficiency as the SYSLIB routine, PRINT, but it uses a count of the number of characters to send instead of having the string terminated with a null character. The following example sends a string of characters to the terminal. LOGICAL*1 ICHSTR ( 22 ) CALL SCOPY ( ' THIS IS THE STRING.'ICHSTR,20 ) CALL TRMOUT ( ICHSTR,20 ) . .
