Starting the routine

The MSGMAKER routine is started using the /START-MSGMAKER command.

START-MSGMAKER                                                    Alias: MSGMAKER

VERSION = *STD / <product-version>

,MONJV = *NONE / <filename 1..54 without-gen-vers>

,CPU-LIMIT = *JOB-REST / <integer 1..32767 seconds>

MSGMAKER can also be called with:

/START-EXECUTABLE-PROGRAM FROM-FILE=*LIB-ELEM(
                          LIBRARY= $<userid>.SYSLNK.MSGMAKER.<version>,
                            ELEMENT=MSGMAKER)

<version> is the current version of MSGMAKER, e.g. 012.
When the routine is started, the operands CPU-LIMIT, TEST-OPTIONS, MONJV, RESIDENT-PAGES and VIRTUAL-PAGES of the /START-EXECUTABLE-PROGRAM command are also available to the user, e.g. to be able to monitor the program run. For a description of these operands, see the /START-EXECUTABLE-PROGRAM command in the “Commands” manual [1 (Related publications)].

The routine runs under any user ID.

MSGMAKER has no subroutine interface, i.e. it cannot be called from another program.
