New and Changed Information
•
A new #TASKPROC intrinsic returns the name of the Guardian procedure that was
used to create a process in the most recently executed TASK, OPEN, or RUN
statement. Values returned are NEWPROCESS or PROCESS_CREATE_. This
statement allows scripts to determine how #TASKERROR and
#TASKERRORTYPE errors should be analyzed. The errors returned by
NEWPROCESS and PROCESS_CREATE_ are documented in the Guardian
Procedure Calls Reference Manual. For more information, see #TASKPROC on
page 9-172.
•
A new #TASKCPU intrinsic returns the CPU number of the task associated with the
current WITH taskid. For more information, see #TASKCPU on page 9-166.
•
A new #TASKPIN intrinsic returns the PIN of the task associated with the current
WITH taskid. For more information, see #TASKPIN on page 9-172.
•
A new CI statement allows SeeView to execute in command interpreter (CI) mode.
This new CI mode allows SeeView scripts containing PROMPT statements to
provide a conversational interface. For more information, see the CI statement.
The new CI mode brings the number of interface modes supported by SeeView to
three:
°
Block-mode interface (server mode 0)
°
Server-mode interface (server mode 1 or 2)
°
CI-mode interface (server mode 3 or 4)
•
A new PROMPT statement prompts the SeeView output file for input when
SeeView runs in CI mode. PROMPT allows you to develop conversational
command interpreter scripts. This statement also allows server-mode scripts to
prompt, and block-mode scripts to be converted to conversational interfaces.
•
A new ALTER FIFOPEER ON/OFF option indicates whether peer process prompts
are processed in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order or in last-in-first-out (LIFO) order. For
more information, see ALTER FIFOPEER ON | OFF option.
