VME Support

Default Public Loading of Superstructure on Series 39.

Clients who have followed the advice of Fujitsu Services and installed the Cobol Compiler into :SYSDEV.STANDARD.ICLSTDSW and its runtime libraries into :*SYSTEMOWNER.STANDARD.ICLSTDSW i.e. core software, should be aware of the following effects -

During System Initiation VME attempts to publicly load the Cobol Complier and its associated runtime libraries. The runtime libraries are successful in being publicly loaded but the compiler fails to load because it is not found in the loading environment.

However, if any CMAC VMs are created, then the task initialisation software for the CMAC VM repeats the call to publicly load the Cobol Compiler and its runtime libraries. This time, the call should be successful, as :SYSDEV.STANDARD.ICLSTDSW is now on the loading environment.

The following points arise from the above:

a)  Clients with software not in the above libraries ought to repeat the call to
    PREPARE_COBOLC2 in their SITE_INITIALISE_SYSTEM procedure having first      
    assigned the appropriate libraries.                                         
                                                                                

b)  Users running COBOL solely from EMAC rather than CMAC will not get the      
    benefits of the public loading of the COBOL Compiler.                       
                                                                                

c)  If users wish to run COBOL publicly from EMAC and additionally enhance the  
    performance of Quickbuild products they should perform the following call   
    during SITE_INITIALISE_SYSTEM.                                              
                                                                                

         PREPARE_COBOLC2(COMPILE&                                               
                         RUN(EXPONENTIATION,SORT,PATHANALYSIS,ITS)&             
                         AVM(SORT) ,                                            
                DOMAIN = PUBLIC)                                                
                                                                                

This is because the standard PREPARECOBOL call omits some of the options that are used by the QB products, especially Application Master.
