Programming Language Considerations

The DSCOPY and DSCOPYMSG intrinsics are SPL procedures that may be

called by programs written in other languages. Following are

appropriate data types and calling sequences for the different

languages available. (Other data types are sometimes possible.)

SPL

In SPL, opt, fnum, and r may be integers; spec must be a logical array;

and result may be a logical array. The calling sequences are:

DSCOPY (OPT, SPEC, RESULT);

DSCOPYMSG (RESULT, FNUM, R);<D>

COBOL

In COBOL, opt, fnum, and r may be numeric data items; spec may be an

alphanumeric data item; and result may be a numeric array. The calling

sequences are:

CALL INTRINSIC "DSCOPY" USING OPT, SPEC, RESULT.

CALL INTRINSIC "DSCOPYMSG" USING RESULT, FNUM, R.

FORTRAN

In FORTRAN, opt, fnum, and r may be 16-bit integers; spec may be a

character array; and result may be an array of 16-bit integers. The

calling sequences are:

CALL DSCOPY (OPT, SPEC, RESULT)

CALL DSCOPYMSG (RESULT, FNUM, R)

BASIC

In BASIC, the intrinsics have a different name. In addition, only certain

kinds of parameter names are permitted, as illustrated in the following

calling sequences:

CALL BDSCOPY (O, S$, R)

CALL BDSCOPYMSG (R, F, R0)

Here O, F, and R0 may be integers; S$ is a string; and R may be an array

of integers.
