Actual file designator of user subprogram library (USL) file into which the program has been compiled.

Actual file designator of program file onto which prepared program segments are written. This can be any binary output file created in one of two ways:

Request to initialize to zero the initially defined, user-managed (DL-DB) area of the stack, as well as the uninitialized portions of the DB-Q (initial). Default is that these areas are not affected.

Request to produce a descriptive listing of the prepared program to a file whose formal file designator is $SEGLIST. If no FILE command is found referencing $SEGLIST, the listing is produced on $STDLIST. Default is no listing.

Maximum permitted stack area (Z-DL) in words. This parameter should be included when it is expected that the size of DL-DB or Z-DB areas will be changed during program preparation or execution. Regardless of what you specify, MPE/iX may change the segsize to accommodate table overflow conditions.

If you prepare your program with segsize less than the configured minimum, the value is rounded up to the minimum or the amount needed by the program (as calculated by the MPE segmenter). The maximum actual segsize permitted a program is 31,232 words. You may prepare your program with a segsize larger than necessary so long as this maximum is not exceeded. If the specified segsize does exceed the maximum, it is rounded down to 31,232 words.

Size of initial local data area (Z-Q initial) stack, in words. This value, if specified, must be between 511 and 32767 words. This parameter overrides the default stacksize estimated by the MPE segmenter.

DL-DB area to be initially assigned to stack. This area is of interest mainly in programmatic applications. Due to system logging considerations, the DL-DB area is always rounded upward so that the distance from the beginning of the stack data segment to the DB-address is a multiple of 128 words. Specify a value between -1 and 32767 words. The default is estimated by the MPE segmenter.

Capability class attributes associated with a program, specified as two-character mnemonics. If more than one mnemonic is specified, each must be separated from its neighbor by a comma. The mnemonics are:

  IA   =   Interactive Access
  BA   =   Local Batch Access
  PH   =   Process Handling
  DS   =   Extra Data Segments
  MR   =   Multiple RINs
  PM   =   Privileged Mode

You can only specify those capabilities assigned by the account manager or system manager. Default is IA and BA.

Actual file designator of the relocatable library (RL) file to be searched to satisfy external references during preparation. This can be any permanent binary file of type RL. It need not belong to your logon group, nor have a reserved local name. This file, to which you must have READ and LOCK access, yields a single segment that is incorporated into the segments of the program file. For more information, refer to the MPE Segmenter Reference Manual (30000-90011). Default is that no library is searched.

Specifies the size of the patch area. This size applies to all segments within the program file. The value you specify must be within -1 and 16380 words.

Suppresses the symbolic DEBUG option. Refer to the HPToolset/V Reference Manual (32350-90001).

Includes or excludes the internal PMAP information. FPMAP is a request to have internal PMAP information included in the program. NOFPMAP excludes PMAP information from the program when the system FPMAP or job/session FPMAP is on. If the symbolic DEBUG option is invoked, default is FPMAP. Otherwise the default is NOFPMAP.
