Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE SEGMENTER
SITUATION CHECKLIST
You need to study this manual in detail under these circumstances:
* When you start developing programs if your facility requires large,
complex applications programs.
* If you've inherited programs from another programmer and don't
understand what the Segmenter commands are doing.
* If you can't prepare a program because your code segment is too
large.
* When you have exceeded the limit of 255 code segments in your program
file.
* If you've made changes or wish to make changes to a procedure used
frequently in your facility and you wish to put it back into a
relocatable library (RL) file or a segmented library (SL) file.
* If you wish to take a common procedure residing in a user subprogram
library (USL) file and build it in with your code or put it into an
RL file or an SL file.
* When you know you have infrequently-used procedures mixed into
segments with those frequently used; or you have procedures which
call each other in different segments and you realize you could
increase run-time efficiency by moving code around within or among
segments.
* When you frequently exhaust available Code Segment Table (CST)
entries.
