FORMSYS - define the format handling system (BS2000 systems)

The FORMSYS control statement allows you to define the format handling system. Only the first FORMSYS statement is evaluated.

FORMSYS

[ TYPE=typ ]
[ ,ENTRY=entryname ]
[ ,LIB=omlname ]

TYPE=

typ

This identifies the format handling system.
Only the value FHS is supported.

Default: FHS

ENTRY=

entryname

Entry name for the format handling system

Default value: KDCFHS with TYPE=FHS

LIB=

omlname

Designates the object module library (OML) from which the connection module for the format handling system is loaded. omlname can be up to 54 characters in length.

If you do not specify LIB= , then LIB= is set to TASKLIB. This does not correspond to the SET-TASKLIB command, rather a library named TASKLIB must exist. Dynamic loading of the connection module from the library assigned with SYSFILE-TASKLIB is not supported.

During the dynamic load, the DBL searches for the connection module first in the library that you specified in LIB= . If this library does not exist, then the DBL aborts the search. The DBL does not abort the search if LIB was not specified but was preset to TASKLIB and no file with this name exists. If the library exists but the connection module is not found there, then the DBL searches the alternative libraries. These libraries are the libraries that have been assigned a file chain name BLSLIBnn (0<=nn<=99).
