Macro type: type O

The IDBPL macro is used to generate a dummy section (Dsect) which provides the individual fields of the BTAM macro with symbolic names.

Format

Operation	Operands
IDBPL	[D] [,prefix / ,*] [,PARMOD = 24 / 31]

Operand descriptions

D

Specifies that a Dsect statement is to be generated. If “D” is not specified, no Dsect statement will be generated.

prefix

Specifies the prefix (1 character) with which each symbolic name is to begin.

Default value:

each name is prefixed by the letter “I”.

*
Specifies that no prefix is to be placed in front of the name.

PARMOD

Specifies the generation mode for the macro.

Default value:

the value preset for the generation mode by means of the GPARMOD macro or by the assembler.

= 24
The macro is expanded in accordance with the format for the 24-bit interface. The object code is thus executable only in 24-bit addressing mode.

= 31
The macro is generated as addressing mode-independent.
