TNS COBOL and FORTRAN routines can continue to use pre-D20 SMU functions.
Table 5-3
on page 5-4 lists the pre-D20 SMU functions and the corresponding current
SMU functions.
Pre-D20 and current SMU functions work somewhat differently. For example, the
current SMU functions do not support checkpointing. To capture changes in internal
run-time data structures for checkpointing purposes, TNS COBOL and FORTRAN
routines can use the pre-D20 SMU functions. Section 9, Common Language Utility
(CLU) Library Functions, describes the current SMU functions.
Services Provided by the Saved Message Utility
When TACL starts a process, it sends a series of messages to the process that
describes the following:
•
IN and OUT file names
•
Default volume and subvolume
•
Current ASSIGN values
•
Current PARAM values
•
Additional text specified with the RUN command
