Attach program in user's TSO address space

Note: Many $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is no OO equivalent for the $TsoAtt function.

This function invokes a program in the user's TSO address space. $TsoAtt performs an "asynchronous" call to the program. That is, control is returned from $TsoAtt as soon as the program is invoked in the TSO address space. The program continues to run while other processing can take place in the online address space.

Note: This function requires the special version of the TSO full screen interface to Model 204 that is distributed by Sirius Software.

The $TsoAtt function accepts five arguments and returns a numeric completion code or task id.

Syntax

%result = $TsoAtt(clist, [path], [parms], [in_image], [out_image])

Syntax terms

%result	Set either to the created task ID or to an error code.
clist	A string containing the name of the program to be invoked in the TSO address space. If this argument is null or missing, no processing is performed and a completion code of 0 is returned.
path	A string containing the path name for the program to be invoked in the TSO address space.
parms	A string containing the parameters to be passed to the invoked CLIST.
in_image	A string containing the name of an image containing input data for the invoked CLIST.
out_image	A string containing the name of an image to receive output data from the invoked CLIST.

Status codes

$TsoAtt normally returns a positive task id from the invoked program. If there is some error that prevents the program from being invoked, however, a negative error code is returned to indicate the problem.

-1 — Connection broken -4 — Not a TSO full screen IODEV (IODEV 11) -8 — Incorrect version of TSO interface -16 — Image not found -20 — LOUTPB too small -28 — Program name is too long

Example

The following program invokes a program called COMPRESS in the user's TSO address space with a parameter of DSN(JUNK.CNTL).

B %rc = $TsoAtt( 'COMPRESS', , 'DSN(JUNK.CNTL)') End
