ZCREDLL Overview
ZCREDLL is the native CRE run-time library. It contains the SMU routines. ZCREDLL routines are not
bound into a user object file. The compiler consults ZCREDLL automatically.
ZCREDLL resides on the subvolume $SYSTEM.SYSnn.
The ZCREDLL routines are:
• CLU_PROCESS_CREATE_
• SMU_Assign_CheckName_
• SMU_Assign_Delete_
• SMU_Assign_GetText_
• SMU_Assign_GetValue_
• SMU_Assign_PutText_
• SMU_Assign_PutValue_
• SMU_Message_CheckNumber_
• SMU_Param_Delete_
• SMU_Param_GetText_
• SMU_Param_PutText_
• SMU_Startup_Delete_
• SMU_Startup_GetText_
• SMU_Startup_PutText_
CLU_PROCESS_CREATE_ is available in the Guardian and OSS environments, but the SMU routines
are available only in the Guardian environment.
For information about individual ZCREDLL routines, see the CRE Programmer’s Guide.
ZCOBDLL Routines
If you omit an optional parameter when you call a ZCOBDLL routine, you must put the keyword
OMITTED in its position if you specify subsequent parameters. Trailing OMITTEDs are not required.
(The syntax diagrams do not reflect this, because it would make them much harder to read.)
