The chapter “BS2000 Components” describes how the executive is embedded in the components of BS2000. It also explains the differences between job, task and process.
The basic syntax required to create a macro is described in the chapter “Use of macros”.
The chapter “Application areas and brief descriptions” lists the task areas for which macros are described in this manual.
The macros are divided into groups on the basis of their functions, which are explained in a brief description. Wherever required, the application of a functional group, i.e. the interaction of several macros, is described in greater detail.
The chapter “Description of the macros” describes all Executive macros and a selection of macros for other components in alphabetical order.
The DSECT of the macro is shown in some cases to aid understanding. Short program examples supplement the descriptions.
A macro described here can be looked up:
alphabetically, via its name (running titles, table of contents, index and appendix, "Macros in alphabetical order");
via its function (table of contents and "Application areas and brief descriptions");
via its SVC number (appendix, "Macros arranged according to SVC number").
The appendix describes macros supported only for reasons of compatibility. It then lists all the macros followed by a table of function key codes.
At the end of the manual you will find a number of chapters containing lists that will make it easier for you to work with the manual.
