z/TPF Program Management - IBM

Note: All relative paths are appended to the current working directory, which
is defined using the CWD parameter in the @DEFINE control
statement section. Therefore, you must define the CWD parameter
before you can specify a relative path.
If you specify a specific location for a program, this location overrides any
default location that might have been defined for the @APPLICATION control
statement section; that is, only the specific location is searched for the program.
If the program is not found in the specific location, an error occurs.
CWD
is the value specified for the CWD parameter in the @DEFINE control
statement section. If you do not specify a default location or a specific location,
this is the only location that is searched.
progname
is the 4-character alphanumeric name of the program that you want to load to
the z/TPF system. Program names must begin with a letter (A–Z). For example,
if the linker creates a program called ctal51.so, the CTAL portion of the name is
required.
version
is the 1- to 2-character alphanumeric version code for the program. For
example, if the linker creates a program called ctal51.so, the 51 portion of the
name is optional.
.ext
specifies an extension of the full program name as created by the linker, where
ext is the appropriate extension. For example, if the linker creates a program
called ctal51.so, the .so portion of the name is optional.
(progcmt)
appends a comment for the program specified by progname that is displayed in
the output report, where progcmt is the text that is appended.
@@progname
specifies a program to patch or to move, where progname is the 4-character
name of the program that you want to patch or move. Program names must
begin with a letter (A–Z).
Note: If you want to patch a program, you must load the program in the current
@APPLICATION control statement section before you can patch it. If you
are moving an entry point, you must ensure that it is being loaded in the
current @APPLICATION control statement section.
.objfile
specifies the object file name, where objfile is an alphanumeric name of the
object file (in the program) that you want to patch on the z/TPF system. Object
file names must begin with a letter (A–Z).
rsa
is the 1- to 6-digit hexadecimal relative starting address in the program or object
file. The relative starting address specifies the offset into the program or object
file where the patch will be applied.
newdata
is the new data (or patch) that will replace the old data in the program or object
file, beginning at the relative starting address. The new data must be an even
number of hexadecimal digits and cannot exceed 32 digits (16 bytes).
