Define Process (DP) Command
The INSPECT option also sets the debugging environment for any descendants
of the defined process. See the Inspect Manual for more information.
JOBID [ jobid ]
sets the job ID for the new process.
LIB [ file-name ]
selects a user library file of object routines that is searched before the system
library file to satisfy external references in the program being run. If you give
the name of a library file, the program uses that library until you select another.
The library file name is linked to the program file and remains in use for all runs
of the program until you specify LIB without a file name. If you do not give a
file name, LIB deletes the previous selection.
To run a program file with a user library, you must have write access to the
program file; the library file name is written into the program’s object-file
header at run time.
To run the program again with the same library, you can omit the LIB
parameter. To run the program again with no library (or with a different
library), include LIB (or LIB file-name). See the RUN command definition
in the TACL Programmer’s Guide for more information about LIB.
MACRO macro-name
is the name of a macro to invoke each time this defined process is invoked (that
is, by typing its name at a TACL prompt). DP passes the name of the defined
process in the variable :dpprocess, and the text of the command in the
variable :dpcommand to the macro. The macro is not invoked again if the
same process is invoked directly or indirectly from within the macro.
MEM num-pages
is the maximum number of virtual data pages to be allocated for the defined
process. Specify num-pages as an integer in the range 1 through 64. If you
omit this option, or if num-pages is less than the compile-time value, the
process uses the compilation value.
NAME [ $process-name ]
part of the process-pair directory (PPD) is an operating system name that you
can assign to the defined process. Specify process-name as an
alphanumeric string of one to five characters, the first of which must be
alphabetic. (For network access, the name must be no more than four
characters.) If you omit this option, the defined process is not named (to the
operating system) and has only a process ID (a CPU number and process
number). If you include NAME without $process-name, the operating
system generates a name for the defined process. The name of the process
appears in the destination control table (DCT).
