Saved Message Utility (SMU) Overview
Programs compiled with the COBOL85 compiler can call all of the SMU routines listed
in Table 13-1. Programs compiled with the NMCOBOL compiler can call only the new
routines.

ALTERPARAMTEXT None
CHECKLOGICALNAME SMU_Assign_CheckName_

1. In the COBOLLIB file. Extension to the HP COBOL and FORTRAN 77 products, except as noted.
2. In the CLULIB file for the COBOL85 compiler and the ZCRESRL file for the NMCOBOL compiler.
3. In the OSS environment, you can also use the HP C
getenv function. SMU_Param_GetText_ returns only
PARAM equivalents, but the HP C
getenv function returns other environment variables as well.
4. Not an extension to the HP COBOL and FORTRAN 77 products
