openFT (BS2000) supports the command interface which is provided in Unix and Windows systems also in POSIX. This means that you can use the openFT functions in BS2000 from within a POSIX system. With a very few exceptions (e.g. Unicode support of file names), the commands have the same function scope as they do in Unix or Windows systems.
For details see the manual "openFT (Unix and Windows systems) - Command Interface" and the manual "openFT (Unix and Windows systems) - Installation and Operation".
Installation
The library SINLIB.OPENFT.121 is required for installation. This contains the installation script and all the components needed for POSIX installation. The POSIX subsystem must be active for installation.
You install the command interface as follows:
Call the START-POSIX-INSTALLATION command.
Select “Install packages in POSIX” from the menu and enter the data in the “BS2000 POSIX package installation” screen which now opens. For details, see the POSIX manual “Basics for Users and System Administrators”.
