Defining Entities
Before you call the first procedure that uses the control block, you must initialize each
element in the block to -1:
MEASCB.FIRSTWORD ':=' -1 & MEASCB.FIRSTWORD
FOR (($LEN(MEASCB)>>1) - 1);
The control block is used to store data for procedure calls. Do not modify the contents
of the block for subsequent Measure procedure calls.
Defining Entities
The entity descriptors define what is to be measured.
The MEASDECS file declares template structures for the entity descriptors. Tab le 6 -2
shows which template structure to use for each entity type.
