Command Definitions S-SO
SEGMENTER
SEGMENTER
Starts the MPE segmenter.
Syntax
SEGMENTER [ listfile]
Parameters
listfile Actual file designator of an ASCII output file that is to receive listed
output from the MPE segmenter. Formal file designator is SEGLIST.
Default is $STDLIST. Usually this file is a line printer. This must be
defined in a FILE command, and then backreferenced (see "Example").
NOTE The formal file designator used in this command, SEGLIST, cannot be
backreferenced as actual file designators in the command parameter list. For
further information, refer to the "Implicit FILE Commands for Subsystems"
discussion of the FILE command.
Operation Notes
This command starts the segmenter subsystem from MPE/iX. The segmenter subsystem
performs the intermediate functions between source code compilation and program
execution.
The segmenter employs temporary files named T999SYM, SEGTMP01, and SEGTMP00. If
you create temporary files with these names, the segmenter attempts to purge them.
You must have READ and LOCK access to use a relocatable library with the SEGMENTER
command.
Use
This command may be issued from a session or a job. It may not be issued in BREAK or
from a program, unless the user or the MPE segmenter has process handling (PH)
capability. Pressing
Break suspends the execution of this command. Entering the RESUME
command continues the execution.
Example
To call the MPE segmenter from a session and transmit the output to a line printer instead
of the standard list device, enter:
FILE LISTFL;DEV=LP
SEGMENTER *LISTFL
