CLULIB Overview
The Common Language Utility library (CLULIB) contains functions that provide
common services to two or more language products. Specifically, Common Language
Utility (CLU) functions provide services that enable:
•
HP COBOL and FORTRAN routines to locate and identify file connectors
(CLU_PROCESS_FILE_NAME_ routine)
•
HP COBOL and FORTRAN routines to create processes using the conventions of
the TACL command RUN (CLU_PROCESS_CREATE_ routine)
•
HP COBOL, FORTRAN, and TAL routines to save and manipulate messages that
the operating environment sends to processes (see Saved Message Utility (SMU)
Overview)
CLU functions differ from CRE functions in that:
•
CLU functions are in the file CLULIB, while CRE functions are in the file CRELIB
•
CLU functions must be explicitly bound into programs that use them, while CRE
functions are configured into the system library
•
CLU functions work in certain language-specific run-time environments as well as
the CRE, while CRE functions work only in the CRE
CLULIB routines must be used in the Guardian environment.
