If you have standard MPE/iX capabilities, you can use many system intrinsics to access operating system features. However, PH intrinsics require that the operating system check for additional capabilities at program load and/or execution. To execute PH intrinsics, you must have the correct capability assigned prior to running the program.

In order for a program containing PH intrinsics to execute successfully, the following criteria must be met:

  • You must assign the PH capability to the program file at link time (using the caplist parameter of the :LINK command). The user who links the program does not need to be assigned the PH capability in order to assign it to the program file.

  • The System Manager (SM) or Account Manager (AM) must assign the PH capability to the group where the program is to execute; however, if the program file is a temporary file, PH must be assigned to the user who executes the program.
