Using TACL to Set up and Change DEFINEs

To add the DEFINEs to your application, use the following TACL macro. Example 6-16

?TACL MACRO

#OUTPUT Adding the =_EMS_COLLECTOR define.

== The define =_EMS_COLLECTOR is used to specify the location of the

== collector to EGEN. (The default collector is $0). If a filename

== is entered which has a file code of 843 (EMS event log files,

== type) EGEN will write formatted event messages to that file.

== As an aid in testing the functionality of an application using

== EGEN, those messages can be printed from this file by using a

== standard EMS distributor (EMSDIST).
