HPSWTONMPLABEL

• Convert CM references in the argument list to virtual NM addresses.

• Change the execution mode.

• Invoke the NM procedure specified by the CM caller.

Syntax

  I32                       U32V  I16V    I16      I16
  status := HPSWTONMPLABEL (proc, nparms, arglist, argdesc,
                            I16V
                            functype);

Functional Return

status

I32 (assigned functional return)

Returns a 32-bit integer indicating the status of the call.

Parameters

proc

32-bit unsigned integer by value (required)

Passes the NM plabel of the target procedure name. This plabel is usually obtained by calling the HPLOADNMPROC intrinsic.

nparms

16-bit signed integer by value (required)

Passes the number of parameters to be passed to the target NM procedure. It specifies the length of argdesc. Account for any hidden parameters (such as, parameters, an extensible parameter list, and so forth).

arglist

16-bit signed integer array by reference (required)

Passes the actual parameters to be passed to the NM procedure.

argdesc

16-bit signed integer array by reference (required)

Passes integer codes describing the parameters held in the arglist array (that is, byte, word, double, pointer, and so forth).

functype

16-bit signed integer by value (required)

Passes the data type of the value the target procedure returns if it is a function. If the target is not a function, the value of this parameter is zero. Refer to the Switch Programming Guide for supported function types.
