Process Definition Commands

4-3
Define Process (DP) Command
omit this option, the defined process executes in the same processor as your
TACL, unless a $CMON dictates otherwise. (See the Guardian Programmer’s
Guide for information about $CMON processes.)
DEBUG
See the INSPECT option below.
DEFMODE { OFF | ON }
enables or disables the current TACL DEFINEs. It is the initial definition mode
state for the new process. If omitted, TACL uses its current definition mode.
Refer to the TACL Reference Manual for the current definition mode and for
setting TACL DEFINEs.) See also Appendix E, “Supplemental Information for
D-Series Operating Systems” in this manual.
EXTSWAP
specifies the volume and, optionally, the file name that is used for memory
swaps of the process’s extended data, if there is any. The EXTSWAP is the file
used for swaps of the extended data segment during the execution of the
process. If the file does not exist, it is created.
Refer to the TACL Reference Manual for more information about D-series
systems. EXTSWAP is a RUN command option. See also Appendix E,
“Supplemental Information for D-Series Operating Systems,” in this manual.
FKEY
enables function key processing in passthrough mode. (Passthrough mode is
described under the subsection, “Issuing Commands to a Defined Process,” at
the end of this section.) When a function key is pressed, the appropriate
function key macro (such as F1 or F2) and the text of the command you typed
just prior to pressing the function key passes to the function key macro. The
function key macro receives the name of the defined process in the variable
:dpprocess, and the text of the command in the variable :dpcommand.
HIGHPIN { OFF | ON }
enables a high-PIN process to run at low PIN. If HIGHPIN ON is specified, the
process runs at high PIN, if it has been converted to run at high PIN. If the
process has not been converted to run at high PIN, this option is not valid; it
runs at low PIN. The default is ON.
The HIGHPIN option has several other uses. See the TACL Reference Manual
section describing D-series systems. HIGHPIN is a RUN command option.
INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }
sets the debugging environment for the process being defined. Use ON and
SAVEABEND to select INSPECT as the debugger; use OFF to select DEBUG.
SAVEABEND is the same as ON except that it automatically creates a save file
if the program ends abnormally (ABEND).
