Procedure Call
Descriptions
Figure 3-1 shows the syntax notation used to describe procedure calls in this manual.
This notation gives the syntax for calling the procedures from TAL programs. You can
also call these procedures from C programs; for information on how to translate TAL
calling sequences into C, refer to the Tandem C Reference Manual.
Following Figure 3-1, the remainder of this section provides the syntax and semantics
of all the APS procedures, in alphabetic order.
Notes The condition code has no meaning after a call to an APS procedure. For its meaning after an MFM_xxx_
procedure, see Appendix B.
Programs calling the APS procedures must have at least 2000 bytes of stack space available for use by
the API.
