ICL 1900 Series George 3 Operating System Commands

LOADENTER (LE)

Function

Combines the functions of LOAD and ENTER.

Format

LOADENTER file description,number,PARAM(a1,a2,...an)

The file description is the name of a binary file, as in the LOAD command. The other parameters are the same as the parameters of the ENTER command. As with ENTER, if no optional program parameters (a1,a2,...an) are included, the number which indicates the entry point may also be omitted. In this case it will be taken as zero.

It is not possible to specify the amount of core to be allocated to the program, as is the case with LOAD.

When the size of the program is in excess of the object program quota (an installation parameter), the following message will be output:
    EXECUTION OF YOUR PROGRAM MAY BE DELAYED AS ITS CORE SIZE EXCEEDS THE PROGRAM QUOTA

Forbidden contexts

NO USER, PROGRAM, BREAK-IN
After the command has been obeyed, the context will be CORE IMAGE.

Execution

Word 8 is set to 20+number and the low level scheduler is informed that the process is ready to run.

The LOADENTER command is equivalent to

    LOAD file description

followed by

    ENTER number,PARAM(a1,a2,...an)

Examples

LOADENTER A.B(/PROG),9,PARAM(1024,SMITH)
LOADENTER PROGFILE
