DO_COMMON Statement

This statement is used only with the EMS subsystem. You must include DO_COMMON

in an EMS template source file if you are customizing EMS templates. (DO_COMMON

causes the Template Compiler to put certain information about universally shared

tokens, those with subsystem ID 0.0.0, into the template object file.)

FORMAT Statement

The FORMAT statement associates a DDL DEF (a structure or type) and a custom-

formatting procedure. Token and field values of the specified type are converted to

display text using the specified procedure. The FORMAT statement affects the display

text produced by the SPI_BUFFER_FORMAT procedures (not by the EMSTEXT

procedure).

DEF-name

is the DDL DEF.

proc-name

is the name of the custom-formatting procedure.

Example

To link the procedure abc_cvt_version to its structure definition abc-ddl-version, place

this FORMAT statement in the template source file for subsystem ABC:

FORMAT: abc-ddl-version WITH abc_cvt_version

For a description and an example of a custom-formatting procedure, see Custom-

Formatting Procedures on page 2-19.

DEF_ENUM Statement

The DEF_ENUM statement enables an application to assign application-specific

enumeration labels to shared tokens (tokens shared by multiple applications).

DEF_ENUM associates the name of a token or field with a DDL DEFINITION

statement of type ENUM (or with multiple ENUM DEFs, as long as the values do not

overlap). ZSPI-TKN-COMMAND, ZSPI-TKN-OBJECT-TYPE, ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE,

and ZEMS-TKN-EVENTNUMBER are all examples of tokens whose values are

interpreted differently for different applications. DEF_ENUM provides the way for each

application to give these tokens their own sets of labels.

FORMAT: DEF-name WITH proc-name
