The macros of IMON-SIC

The user is provided with an easy to use program interface to execute IMON-SIC functions for evaluating SYSSII files with the IMOKIT, IMOKIA and IMOKIS macros.

SYSSII files are created and edited through the IMON-SIC menu interface only.

The following functions are invoked directly from within an Assembler program and executed in real time. A function is called using the corresponding macro where the function name with a leading asterisk is to be specified in the FUNCT parameter.

List of functions

Function	Macro	Meaning
SIIOPEN	IMOKIT	Open SYSSII file
SIIREAD	IMOKIT	Read information from SYSSII file
SIICLOSE	IMOKIT	Close SYSSII file
SIIRCOM	IMOKIA	Read comments on the release unit or on a release item from the SYSSII file
SIIRDEP	IMOKIA	Read the old dependencies of the release unit from the SYSSII file
SIIRKON	IMOKIA	Read the new dependencies of the release unit from the SYSSII file
SIIRPAR	IMOKIA	Read the parameter text of a release items from the SYSSII file
SIISHOW	IMOKIS	Display the contents of a SYSSII file

Notes

1. Internal data fields (e.g. the file descriptor <prefix><macid>FD) are prepared for additional function calls and may not be deleted or overwritten.

2. When strings are explicitly specified in the parameter list (e.g. a SYSSII file name), then at least one space character (X’40’) or X’00’ must be added at the end of the valid string as the last character of the string.

3. X’00’ is the preset value for the last character of the string when outputting strings in the parameter list (e.g. unit name) for the IMOKIT and IMOKIA macro functions SIIOPEN, SIIREAD, SIIRCOM, SIIRDEP, SIIRKON and SIIRPAR. The last character of the string can be explicitly set to the space character (X’40’) in the corresponding parameter list of the IMOKIT or IMOKIA macro in the IREADEL or IAREDEL field.
