Storing procedures

LMS allows the user to store BS2000 procedures as members in libraries (member type J).

Existing procedure files can be incorporated as members into libraries by means of ADD-ELEMENT.

Storing procedures in this way, especially where small command files are concerned, saves storage space. The number of catalog entries is decreased.

Note, however, that any ISAM keys that have been stored (see "Adding members to a library") must be removed from the members before the procedure is called.

A library member can also be assigned as the system input file (SYSDTA) by means of the BS2000 command ASSIGN-SYSDTA (see [4 (Related publications)]).
