General Macros

This chapter contains an alphabetic listing of the TPF general macros. General macros are used by TPF application programs that need system services. No special authorization is required by the macros, although some parameters may be restricted, as noted. The description of each macro includes the following information:

Format: Provides a syntax (railroad track) diagram for the macro and a description of each parameter and variable. See How to Read the Syntax Diagrams for more information about syntax diagrams.

Entry Requirements: Lists any special conditions that must be true on entry to the macro.

Return Conditions: Lists what is returned when the macro finishes processing.

Programming Considerations: Lists any additional considerations for using the macro, including any restrictions or limitations.

Examples: Provides one or more examples that show you how to code the macro.
