Task 3: Set Up SPAM
Example: SPAM Installation
Setting Up an Enform “IN” File for TPRODUCE
To simplify using TPRODUCE to run reports compiled by Enform, you can create a
custom Enform “IN” file, in which you put commands to generate the reports you want
(in this example, RCPUREPT):
?Dictionary $BASE.BASE
?Assign CPUX , $WORK.WORK.CPUX
?Assign PROCESS, $WORK.WORK.PROCESS
?Execute $BASE.BASE.RCPUREPT
Then, to run a report, enter:
1> TPRODUCE MYFILE, $S.#HOLD
1> RUN TINSTALL
T8670D20 SPAM(18MAR94)
TINSTALL installs your working copy of SPAM it must be run interactively
from the SPAM “base directory”. It moves a subset of files from this
base directory to your chosen “work directory” and creates the other files
needed. The syntax for TINSTALL is:
TINSTALL [/OUT <out file>/] <work-directory>
<work-directory> is your chosen Tandem subvolume for your working version
of SPAM (e.g. $DATA.MYSPAM).
Use /OUT <out file>/ to send the output to a file.
2> RUN TINSTALL CBSPAM
T8670D20 SPAM(18MAR94)
TINSTALL: Install from $GIA03.J8670D20 to $GIA03.CBSPAM; OK? (y/n)Y

RUN $GIA03.CBSPAM.TLOADSEG to have access to SPAM’s routines.
You may want to include RUN $GIA03.CBSPAM.TLOADSEG in your TACLCSTM file.
