•
Argument passing. You can pass arguments to TACL programs. The
mechanism depends on the type of program (text, macro, or routine).
•
Data operations. You can compare, move, and manipulate the contents of
variables that contain text or TACL statements.
For additional information about TACL programs, see Section 5, Statements and
Programs.
Program Development Tools
TACL provides a symbolic debugger that gives you interactive debugging capabilities
such as breakpoints and step operations. For additional information about the
debugger, see the _DEBUGGER Command in Section 8, UTILS:TACL Commands
and Functions, or the TACL Programming Guide.
Using TACL With Other Subsystems
TACL can communicate with other programs. This manual describes each command
and function that supports network and interprocess communication. For examples
showing the use of the commands and functions and for information about subsystem-
specific information such as SPI tokens supported by TACL, see the TACL
Programming Guide.
