SMU_Startup_PutText_
SMU_Startup_PutText_
The SMU_Startup_PutText_ function creates or replaces a part of the startup message 
with text obtained from a string variable. 
portion
is the name of the startup message part you want to create or replace. portion 
is one of: 
portion_bytes
is the size of portion, in bytes, and must be a value greater than 0. For TAL, you 
must supply this value; for COBOL and FORTRAN, the compiler implicitly 
computes and transmits this value to the function. If 
portion_bytes exceeds the 
number of characters in 
portion, the first unused character of portion must be 
a space character. 
text
is the new text to assign to the startup message part. The text must have a format 
appropriate for the message part. 
text is one of: 
INT PROC SMU_Startup_PutText_( portion:portion_bytes,
 text:text_bytes )
 EXTENSIBLE;
 STRING .EXT portion; ! in, required
 INT portion_bytes; ! in, required
 STRING .EXT text; ! in, required
 INT text_bytes;  ! in, required TNS,native
