(1.1)			Goal


Help all listeners to make efficient use of the Indirect Command
File Processor (ICP) under RSX, P/OS, and RT.






(1.2)			Caveats


The current releases of all the operating systems are assumed.
However, this paper should be useful as far back as: 
			RSX-11M	V3.2
			RSX-11M+ V1.0
			VAX-11 RSX V1.0
			P/OS V1.0
			RT-11 V5.0 (FB and XM)

Where there are differences between the Indirect Command File
Processors of these systems (and I am aware of these
differences) they are indicated.

Command lines in examples are all for RSX MCR. 

I am not the final authority on the ICP in all its multifarious 
versions. 






(1.3)			Acknowlegement


Allen A. Watson's paper, "Indirect Command Files for New RSX
Users", presented at the Spring, 1983 DECUS US Symposium, was
both an inspiration and a reference for this paper. 

			Background -
(2.1)		    Historical Perspective












The RSX Indirect Command Processor lets you "can" CLI commands.










The same processor (with minor modifications) went with P/OS
	when it was spun off from RSX.










The same logic (modified to fit the different environment)
	was incorporated into RT-11 three years ago.

			Background -
(2.2)			Invoking the ICP








To feed a command file to the ICP:



	(RSX)	>@filename



	(P/OS)	$ @filename



	(RT)	. SET KMON IND
		. @filename

	    or	. IND @filename







In all cases the input is to a CLI prompt.






"@filename" in response to some other prompt has nothing to
	do with the ICP.

			Background -
(2.3)		   Contents of an ICP file




Each line of an ICP file is composed of one of the following:


	An "external" comment;

	An "internal" comment;

	An ICP directive;

	A CLI command;






(2.4)		Processing a line of an ICP file



To process a record in an ICP file:

	Read it;

	Perform symbol substitution (if enabled);

	Decide what kind it is. If it's an ICP directive: 

		Parse the first "word";

		Load the overlay that processes it (overlaid
			versions);

		Complete parsing;

		Execute.

			Symbols -
(3.1)		    What are Symbols?




Symbols are named data stores used by the ICP.



Symbols are not accessible outside the ICP.



Symbol names are 1-6 RAD50 characters (excluding ".").



Symbols come in three flavors:

	Logical		(True of False);

	Numeric		(16-bit integer values);

	String		(0 to 132 bytes).



Symbols can be assigned values:

	By computation within the ICP;

	By querying the user;

	In special cases, by reference or on entry to the ICP.



Symbol values can be tested.



Symbols are normally local to the command procedure in which
	they were created. 

			Symbols -
(3.2)		    Logical Symbols





Logical Symbols take on the values TRUE or FALSE.



Logical Symbols can be assigned values by:

	.SETT symbol		(sets it TRUE);

	.SETF symbol		(sets it FALSE);

	.SETL symbol expression	(sets it to value of expr);

	.ASK symbol prompt	(reads it from terminal).



Logical operators: 

		!	(logical OR);

		&	(logical AND);

(RSX,P/OS)	#	(logical NOT);

(RT)		^	(logical NOT).



Logical Expressions are evaluated strictly left to right.



Logical Symbols can be tested using .IFT, .IFF, or .IF.



Substitution yields "T" for TRUE, or "F" for FALSE.

			Symbols -
(3.3)		    Numeric Symbols




Numeric Symbols take on 16-bit unsigned integer values.



Numeric Symbols can be assigned values by:
	.SETN symbol expression	(sets it to value of expr);
	.INC symbol		(adds 1 to it);
	.DEC symbol		(Subtracts 1 from it);
	.ASKN symbol prompt	(reads it from terminal);
(RT)	.SETT [mask] symbol	(Sets the masked bits);
(RT)	.SETF [mask] symbol	(Clears the masked bits).



Numeric operators: 

		+	(addition);
		-	(subtraction);
		*	(multiplication);
		/	(integer division);
		!	(bitwise logical OR);
		&	(bitwise logical AND);
(RSX,P/OS)	#	(bitwise logical NOT);
(RT)		^	(bitwise logical NOT).



Numeric expressions are evaluated strictly left to right.



Numeric constants are normally OCTAL.



Numeric Symbols can be tested by the .IF directive.



The default radix of a Numeric Symbol comes from the
	expression that determined its value.



Substitution yields the value of the symbol, in its
	default radix.

			Symbols -
(3.4)		    String Symbols





String Symbols take on the value of a 0-132 byte string.




String Symbols can be assigned values by:

	.SETS symbol expression	(sets it to value of expr);

	.ASKS symbol prompt	(reads it from terminal).




String operator:

		+	(concatenation).




String Expressions are evaluated strictly left to right.




A string constant is constructed as follows:

		"this is a string constant"

(RSX,P/OS)	#this is a string constant, too#




Substrings can be extracted by the construction:

		symbol[start:end]




String Symbols can be tested by the .IF directive.




Substitution yields the bytes in the string.

			Symbols -
(3.5)		  Symbol Substitution




Occurs only when enabled (by .ENABLE SUBSTITUTION).




Is called for by enclosing a symbol name in apostrophes.




Can not do substitution on an undefined symbol.




Substitution occurs BEFORE the line is parsed.




Under RSX and P/OS, you can get format control by following the
	symbol name (within apostrophes) by a percent sign ("%")
	and one or more of the following: 

		D	(substitute the decimal value);

		O	(substitute the octal value);

		Rn	(right justify in "n" byte field);

		Ln	(left justify in "n" byte field);

		Z	(fill field with leading zeros);

		S	(signed value);

		C	(do blank compression);

		X	(substitute RAD50 string for number);

		V	(substitute value for first byte,
				or a byte for value).

(3.5)		Symbol Substitution (continued)





			Examples





    Assembling and task building an arbitrary module:

	.ASKS MODULE What module shall I assemble
	MAC 'MODULE'='MODULE'
	TKB @'MODULE'BLD

      Effects:

	You are prompted for the name of a module;
	That module is assembled and taskbuilt.






    Inserting control characters:

	.SETN NJUNK 33
	.SETS ESCAPE "'NJUNK%V'"

      Effect:

	String Symbol ESCAPE now contains an escape character.






    Using format control to set the size of a field:

	.SETN NJUNK 1
	PIP FILE.'NJUNK%R3Z'/LI

      Effect:

	A directory listing of file FILE.001 is produced.

			Symbols -
(3.6)	Determining the Characteristics of Symbols






Finding out whether a symbol exists:


	.IFDF symbol	(satisfied if symbol defined);


	.IFNDF symbol	(satisfied if symbol not defined).






Characteristics of a symbol:


	.TEST symbol	(Causes the following Special Symbol 
			 values to be set):


		<SYMTYP> = 0 if the symbol is a Logical Symbol,
			 = 2 if the symbol is a Numeric Symbol,
			 = 4 if the symbol is a String Symbol;

		<OCTAL>  = <TRUE> if octal (numeric and string
				symbols only);

		<STRLEN> = Length of string (string symbols
				only);

		<ALPHAN> = <TRUE> if (uppercase) alphanumeric
				(string symbols only);

		<NUMBER> = <TRUE> if a number (string symbols
				only);

		<RAD50>  = <TRUE> if a RAD50 string (string
				symbols only).

			Symbols -
(3.7)		Manipulating Substrings







Finding substrings of a string:


	.TEST string1 string2	(returns the following Special 
				 Symbol value):


		<STRLEN> = position of first occurrence of
		   		string2 in string1, or 0 if it
				doesn't occur. 







Substrings based on character locations:


	.PARSE string1 string2 symbol1 symbol2 ...

		(separates the first string into substrings at
		the characters in the second string; the
		resulting substrings are stored in the given
		symbols).


    Example:

	.PARSE <UIC> "[,]" JUNK1 GROUP MEMBER JUNK2

	sets String Symbols JUNK1 and JUNK2 null, GROUP to your
	current UIC group, and MEMBER to your current UIC
	member. 

			Control -
(4.1)		Conditional Directives





Syntax:


	.IFx condition statement




Flavors:

	    	Syntax		Condition satisfied if
	    -------------------	----------------------

	    .IF symbol rel expr	relation is satisfied

	    .IFT symbol		logical symbol is true

	    .IFF symbol		logical symbol is false

	    .IFDF symbol	symbol is defined

	    .IFNDF symbol	symbol is not defined

	    .IFLOA driver	driver is loaded

	    .IFNLOA driver	driver is not loaded

(RSX,P/OS)  .IFINS task		task is installed

(RSX,P/OS)  .IFNINS task	task is not installed

(RSX,P/OS)  .IFACT task		task is active

(RSX,P/OS)  .IFNACT task	task is not active

(RT)	    .IFT [mask] symbol	numeric symbol has any
(RT)					masked bits set

(RT)	    .IFF [mask] symbol	numeric symbol has any
(RT)					masked bits clear

			Control -
(4.1)	    Conditional Directives (continued)





Valid relations in a .IF directive:

				Satisfied if value of
		Syntax		symbol is
	    -------------------	----------------------

		=  or EQ	equal to expression

		<> or NE	not equal to expression

		>  or GT	greater than expression

		<  or LT	less than expression

		>= or GE	greater than or equal to
					expression

		<= or LE	less than or equal to
					expression


	The expression must be of the same type as the symbol. 






Tests can be connected using:


	.OR  -  Syntax: .IFx condition .OR .IFx condition


	.AND -  Syntax: .IFx condition .AND .IFx condition


	Parentheses - Syntax: .IFx .AND (.IFx .OR .IFx)

			Control -
(4.2)			Labels






Identify locations as targets of .GOTO or .GOSUB directives.




Formed like symbol names but do not conflict with them. 




Must occur in the same command file as all references to them.




Need not be unique - but "strange" results if they're not. 




Come in two flavors:


	Standard labels:

		Defined by the syntax:
			.label: (more stuff on same line)

		Are found by scanning the command file.

		Substitution does not occur during label scan.


	Direct-access labels:

		Defined by the syntax
			.label:
			with nothing else on the same line;

		Location is cached, and loaded when referenced;

		If cache fills, earliest label is dropped;

		Require direct-access media.

			Control -
(4.3)		   Transfer of Control





"Standard" GO TO syntax:

	.GOTO label






"Computed" GO TO syntax:

	Can be implemented using symbol substitution:

		.ENABLE SUBSTITUTION
		.SETN OPTION 0
	.QUERY:	.ASKS FILE Which file
		.ASKN [0:2:OPTION] OPTION Which option
		.GOTO OPT'OPTION'
	.OPT0:	.EXIT
	.OPT1:	PIP 'FILE'/LI
		.GOTO QUERY
	.OPT2:	PIP 'FILE'/SP
		.GOTO QUERY






"Assigned" GO TO syntax:

	Can be implemented using symbol substitution:

		.ENABLE SUBSTITUTION
		.SETS ASSIGN "LABEL1"
			.
			.
			.
		.GOTO 'ASSIGN'
			.
			.
			.
	.LABEL1:

			File I/O -
(5.1)		  Basic File Operations




Input directives:

	.OPENR filename	(Open existing file for input);

	.READ symbol	(Read next record into String Symbol).




Output directives:

	.OPEN filename	(Open new file for output);
    or
	.OPENA filename	(Open existing file for append);


	.DATA text	(Writes the  given text to the file);
    or
	.ENABLE DATA	(Causes all subsequent lines in the
			 commend procedure to be written to
			 the file);
      followed by
	.DISABLE DATA	(Turns off the writing of data to the
			 file).



Other directives:

	.CLOSE		(Closes the output file);

(RT)	.PURGE		(Same as .CLOSE, but deletes the file 
			after closing).


Can use the RMS utilities to convert to/from sequential.

			File I/O -
(5.2)		Miscellaneous Capabilities










Multiple files:


	Insert File Number after the directive name:

		.OPEN #1 KANGA.ROO

		.DATA #2 This data is written to File 2.

		.CLOSE #3


	File numbers must be in range 0 to 3.











Determining file attributes (RSX only):


	Special Symbol <FILATR> has first 7 words of FDB:

		File size

		Largest record

		Record type

		Implied carriage control

		(more)

			Terminal I/O -
(6.1)		      .ASKx Operation





.ASKx is used to prompt for and validate symbol values.




.ASKx always returns a valid value.




By default, entry of ^Z causes the ICP to exit.




Syntax:

	.ASK [def:tmo] symbol prompt        (Logical);

	.ASKN [lo:hi:def:tmo] symbol prompt (Numeric);

	.ASKS [lo:hi:def:tmo] symbol prompt (String),




If the default answer is taken, <DEFAUL> comes back TRUE.




If the timeout expires, <TIMOUT> comes back TRUE.




You can get uppercase conversion on a .ASKS by:

	.DISABLE LOWERCASE

			Terminal I/O -
(6.2)		 .ASKx Exception Handling









You don't get exceptions returned unless you .ENABLE them.









.ENABLE ESCAPE - traps the escape character.


	<ESCAPE> (and its synonym <ALTMOD>) come back TRUE.


	Generally used to break out of the normal logic
		sequence.









.DISABLE CONTROL-Z	(RSX, P/OS only) - Traps ^Z.


	<EOF> comes back TRUE.


	Used with SET /SLAVE=TI: in captive command procedures.

			Terminal I/O -
(6.3)		    Miscellaneous Input




















You can also .OPENR a terminal.


















This is the only way to do I/O to a terminal other than TI:
	(RSX, P/OS) or TT: (RT). 

			Terminal I/O -
(6.4)			   Output


By default:

	Each .ASKx displays:
(RSX)		>* prompt [parameters]:
(P/OS)		$ * prompt [parameters]:
(RT)		* prompt [parameters]:

	"External" comments display:
(RSX)		>; comment text
(P/OS)		$ ; comment text
(RT)		; comment text

	CLI commands are displayed as:
(RSX)		>Command
(P/OS)		$ Command
(RT)		. Command




You can disable the extra stuff by:

(RSX,P/OS)	.DISABLE DISPLAY

(RT)		.DISABLE PREFIX,SUFFIX


    If you do this:

	Each .ASKx displays:
		prompt

	"External" comments display:
		comment text

	CLI commands are displayed as:
		Command




You can get rid of "External" comments and CLI commands
	completely by:

		.ENABLE QUIET




You can also (of course) .OPEN a terminal for output.

			Modules -
(7.1)			Internal




Internal Module entry syntax:

	.GOSUB label arguments




Argument passing:

	Reserved String Symbol COMMAN contains the arguments.




Internal Module exit syntax:

	.RETURN










Example:
		.ENABLE SUBSTITUTION
		.GOSUB STORE Arthur Dent
		.GOSUB STORE 6*9=42
		.EXIT
	.STORE:
		; The argument string is "'COMMAN'".
		.RETURN

	This displays (under RSX):
		>; The argument string is "Arthur Dent".
		>; The argument string is "6*9=42".
		>@ <EOF>


			Modules -
(7.2)			External






External Module entry syntax:

	@file arguments


    Argument passing:

	COMMAN - Contains entire command line.

	P0-P9  - Loaded as though by:
		.PARSE COMMAN " " P0 P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9





External Module exit syntax:

	.EXIT status	(return to the calling command file);
     or
	.STOP		(terminate the ICP).


    If you exit using the .EXIT directive:

	<EXSTAT> contains the passed status;

	<EXSTRI> can return results to calling module:
			.SETS <EXSTRI> results







You can also chain between command files:

	.CHAIN file


    The only argument passing is by global symbols, or (under
		RSX and P/OS only) by using: 

	.CHAIN file/LO

		    External Environment -
(8.1)		What Kind of System Are You On?






Special Symbol <SYSTEM> returns (in octal): 

	 0 = RSX-11D;

	 1 = RSX-11M;

	 2 = RSX-11S (nice trick!);

	 3 = IAS;

	 4 = RSTS (for expansion?);

	 5 = AME, or VAX-11 RSX;

	 6 = RSX-11M+;

	 7 = RT-11 SJ;

	10 = RT-11 FB (or RTEM-11);

	11 = P/OS.





Special Symbol <SYTYP> returns a string describing
	the system type.





Special Symbol <VERSN> returns a string describing
	the system version number.





Special Symbol <NETNOD> (under RSX and P/OS) or
	<MONNAM> (under RT) returns the name given
	at SYSgen.

		    External Environment -
(8.2)		  The Device Configuration







Finding a driver:

	.IFLOA driver	(if driver loaded);

	.IFNLOA driver	(if driver not loaded).






Finding a device:


	.TESTDEVICE name


	returns, in Special Symbol <EXSTRI>, the string
		"phys,n1,n2,n3,n4,flags"


	where:

	    Phys is the physical name of the device;

(RSX,P/OS)  n1 thru n4 are octal numbers, and represent
(RSX,P/OS)	U.CW1 thru U.CW4 for the given device;

(RT)	    n1 is a decimal number (with trailing dot)
(RT)		which gives the size of the device;
(RT)	    n2 through n4 are zero.

	    Flags are various device status indicators:
		Driver status (loaded or not)
		Device status (online or off)
		Mount status
(RSX,P/OS)	Mount type (foreign or not)
(RSX,P/OS)	"Publicity" (Public or not)
(RSX,P/OS)	Allocation
(RSX,P/OS)	Attachment



	If the device is not in the system, <EXSTRI> returns
		"NSD," no such device in this system.

		    External Environment -
(8.3)		Other Things About the System




Finding out what volume is on a drive (RT ONLY):
	.VOL symbol device	(loads volume label in symbol).




Finding out what time it is:
	<DATE>, when referenced, returns the system date
		(under RT this is blank if there is none);
	<TIME>, when referenced, returns the system time.




Finding a file:
	.TESTFILE file
		<FILERR> returns status (1 = success)
	    If the file was found,
		<FILSPC> returns the file name. Some versions
			of the ICP have trouble, due to a bug
			in RSX SYSLIB module EXPFN.




Finding a task (RSX and P/OS only):
	.IFINS task	(satisfied if task installed);
	.IFNINS task	(satisfied if task not installed);
	.IFACT task	(satisfied if task active);
	.IFNACT task	(satisfied if task not active).




Finding a partition or common block (RSX and P/OS only):

	.TESTPARTITION partition
		(where "partition" is a partition name, or "*"
		 for the partition in which ICP is running)

	loads Special Symbol <EXSTRI> with
		"name,base,size,type,"
    where:
	name = name of the partition;
	base = base address in 64-byte blocks (octal);
	size = size in 64-byte blocks (octal);
	type = SYS (system controlled),
	       USR (user-controlled), or
	       NSP (no such partition).

		    External Environment -
(8.4)		The Context of the ICP File





(RSX,P/OS)	<TITYPE> returns TI: device type.




(RSX,P/OS)	.TESTDEVICE TI:	returns TI: device name.




(RSX,P/OS)	.TESTDEVICE SY: returns current default device.
(RT)		.TESTDEVICE DK: returns current default device.




(RSX,P/OS)	<DIRECT> returns current default directory
			(or "[]" in NONAMED mode).




(RSX,P/OS)	<UIC> returns current UIC (= current default
			directory in NONAMED mode).




(RSX)		<CLI> returns name of current CLI.




(RSX,P/OS,RT)	<FILSPC> contains (on entry to any command
			procedure) the fully qualified file name
			of the command procedure.




(RSX,P/OS)	.TRANSLATE logical
			translates the logical name, returning
			the result in <EXSTRI>.

		    External Environment -
(8.5)		Executing under Multiple CLIs







Group CLI commands together in blocks, and execute the
	appropriate block. Example: 

		.ENABLE SUBSTITUTION
		.GOTO '<CLI>'
	.MCR:	PIP *.SAV;*/DE/NM
		PIP *.SAV;*/RE=*.DAT;*
		.EXIT
	.DCL:	DELETE *.SAV;*
		RENAME *.DAT;* *.SAV;*
		.EXIT







Or, force the CLI as desired on entry to the procedure. Example:

		.IF <CLI> <> "MCR" MCR SET /MCR=TI:







Or, force individual commands to the desired CLI. Example:

		.ENABLE SUBSTITUTION
		.SETS MCR ""
		.IF <CLI> <> "MCR" .SETS MCR "MCR "
		'MCR'PIP *.SAV;*/DE/NM
		'MCR'PIP *.SAV;*/RE=*.DAT;*
		.EXIT







Or, modify the ICP to set the CLI override bit on entry, and
	clear it on exit. 

		    External Environment -
(8.6)		  Synchronizing With Tasks







The ICP will automatically wait for an external task to complete
	for:

(RSX,P/OS)	Tasks run with the install/run/remove version of
(RSX,P/OS)		the "RUN" command;

(RSX,P/OS)	Tasks run as CLI commands;

(RT)		All operations.







The ICP will proceed without waiting for an external task to
	complete


	Under RSX:

		If you prefix .XQT to the RUN or CLI command, or

		If you RUN an installed task, other than as a
			CLI command.

		You can resynchronize by issuing:
			.WAIT task


	Under P/OS:

		If you SPAWN the RUN or other CLI command.

		There is no way to resynchronize.


	Under RT:

		There is no support for this.

		   Interfacing With Your Own Code -
(9.1)		Passing a Command Line to Your Own Code







Under all systems covered, you must run your task as a CLI
	command for this to work. 






Under RSX and P/OS:

	Code:
		LOGICAL*1 CMDBUF(80)
		INTEGER*2 CMDLEN
		CALL GETMCR(CMDBUF,CMDLEN)

	If CMDLEN is negative, no CLI command is available.

	The command name is also passed. You must remove it
		yourself. 






Under RT:

	Code:
		LOGICAL*1 CMDBUF(80)
		LOGICAL*1 CMDPMP(5)
		DATA CMDPMP /'C','m','d','>',"200/
		CALL GTLIN(CMDBUF,CMDPMP)

	The command line is terminated with an ASCII null
		character. 

	I know of no way to prevent DCL from munging around
		with the command line. 

		   Interfacing With Your Own Code -
(9.2)		Passing status back to the ICP






You can return a limited amount of status directly from your
	code back to the ICP.






Under RSX and P/OS:


	INTEGER*2 EXSTAT
	EXSTAT = 1		! Or whatever.
	CALL EXIT(EXSTAT)






Under RT:


	INTEGER*2 EXSTAT
	EXSTAT = 1		! Or whatever.
	CALL IPOKEB("53,EXSTAT .OR. IPEEKB("53))
	CALL EXIT


Unfortunately, RT-11 does not pass your byte verbatim back to 
the ICP. Instead, each bit in the byte is interpreted as an 
error severity level, and the ICP returns in <EXSTAT> the number 
that corresponds to the highest bit set in this byte. The upshot 
(in octal) is that:

    To get     You poke
    ------     --------
       1           1
       0           2
       2           4
       4          10

If you poke 20 (octal), the ICP itself is terminated.

		   Interfacing With Your Own Code -
(9.3)			Other Ways to Communicate












Disk files.











Extended Logical Names:




	ICP:	Create with MCR DLG command;

		Read using .TRANSLATE.




	Code:	Create using CLON/CLOG;

		Read using TLON/TLOG;

		Note bug in RSX documentation for these.

(10.0)			Debugging






Trace facility:

	Prints every ICP directive processed, as well as
		every CLI command.

	Useful for following control and logic flow, and
		finding out where it went wrong.

	Turn on trace by:
		.ENABLE TRACE

	If you invoke the command procedure by:
(RSX, P/OS)		@file/TR
(RT)			@file/T
		tracing is done by default. This is the only
		way to do a trace in earlier versions of the
		ICP.






CLI command suppression:

	Causes CLI commands to be NOT emitted to the CLI.
		They are displayed anyway, with a comment
		marker ("!") in front.

	Useful for verifying critical commands generated
		by your command procedure, before you turn
		it loose on your system.

	Suppress CLI commands by:
		.DISABLE MCR
(RT)		.DISABLE DCL

	If you invoke the command procedure by:
(RSX, P/OS)		@file/-MCR
(RSX, P/OS)		@file/-CLI
(RT)			@file/N
		CLI commands are suppressed by default. This
		is the only way to suppress CLI commands in
		earlier versions of the ICP.
