Descriptions of the Intrinsics Available in MPE/iX
U16
jcw :=GETJCW;
GETLOCRIN
NM and CM callable.
Acquires local resource identification numbers (RINs) for a job/session.
U16V
GETLOCRIN( rincount );
GETORIGIN
NM and CM callable.
Returns the source of the activation call for the calling process that has been previously
suspended and subsequently reactivated. The source of the activation request can be the
parent process, a child process, or another source (for example, an interrupt or the timer).
Process handling (PH) capability is required.
I16
source :=GETORIGIN;
GETPRIORITY
NM and CM callable.
Changes the priority of a process. Process handling (PH) capability is required.
I16V U16V I16V
GETPRIORITY( pin,priorityclass , rank );
GETRIVMODE
NM and CM callable.
Dynamically enters privileged mode. Privileged mode (PM) capability is required. The
normal checks and limitations that apply to the standard users in MPE/iX are bypassed in
privileged mode (PM). It is possible for a PM program to destroy file integrity, including
the MPE/iX operating system software itself. Hewlett-Packard will investigate and
attempt to resolve problems resulting from the use of PM code. This service, which is not
provided under the standard service contract, is available on a time and materials billing
basis. Hewlett-Packard will not support, correct, or attend to any modification of the MPE
operating system software.
GETPRIVMODE;
GETPROCID
NM and CM callable.
Returns the process identification number (PIN) of a child process. Process handling (PH)
capability is required.
