Any element of an HP 3000 computer system that your program can access through MPE XL can be considered a resource. A resource can be an input or output device, a file, a subroutine, a library procedure, or a private data area.

A major function of MPE XL is to manage resources in such a way as to make your programming efforts easier and more efficient. MPE XL also provides you with system intrinsics to accomplish various tasks related to managing the resources your program may access.

This manual describes two such resource management tasks available to you through the operating system:

  • Managing shared resources with Resource Identification Numbers (RINs).

  • Dynamic loading of executable library procedures.

All intrinsics discussed in this manual is described in greater detail in the MPE XL Intrinsics Reference Manual (32650-90028). Commands discussed in this manual are described in the MPE XL Commands Reference Manual (32650-90003).
