System administration functions

A prerequisite for the creation of user-written or system administration functions is that the system administrator has loaded the SDFPBIF subsystem. This contains the tools and macros required for users to be able to write and install their own functions.

There are Assembler interfaces with which the system administrator can create functions. These are described in section “Program interfaces for systems support”.

Because only the system administrator can develop user-written functions, he/she is also responsible for the correctness and security of these functions.
