Utilities
Utilities Descriptions
SOMPATCH
SOMPATCH is used for binary modification of a native mode spectrum object module (SOM)
program or library file. Binary modification is referred to normally as patching. This utility
also provides online help for command syntax and function.
WARNING
Do not use this utility without service center support. Unauthorized
use will void your warranty and may cause data loss.
SORT-MERGE/XL
Use SORT to sort files based on single or multiple key items. You can sort data
alphabetically, numerically, or in a collating sequence you define; you can request
ascending or descending order. Use MERGE to merge data from two or more sorted files into
a single, new file. SORT-MERGE/XL operates from within a program, or as a standalone
utility in either interactive or batch mode.
SPUTIL
The Native Mode Spooler Utility Program (SPUTIL) allows you to list, manipulate, and
transfer spooled device files (spoolfiles) that are created and maintained by MPE/iX.
SPUTIL is an MPE/iX replacement for the MPE CM SPOOK5 program.
SPUTIL opens the formal file designator SPUTIN as its $STDIN(X) and the formal file
designator SPUTOUT as its $STDLIST. You may redirect these files as desired with a file
equation. However the record width of any redirected SPUTOUT should not be less than 80
bytes; otherwise displays and messages may generate an error when SPUTIL directs them
to SPUTOUT.
SPUTIL
