C1.04. FMS Subroutine FMSSET

FMSSET

PURPOSE: Change FMS Parameters Interactively

To provide an interactive way to change FMS Parameters.

SYNOPSIS


	CALL FMSSET

INPUT PARAMETERS:

None.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS:

None.

DESCRIPTION:

The FMSSET subroutine can be called at any point in your program after FMSINI to examine and change FMS Parameters. It provides a convenient tool for debugging and performance studies where frequent changes to FMS Parameters are required.

FMSSET is designed to be run interactively from a terminal. Once called, FMSSET will solicit input by displaying the following prompt:

FMSSET>

To examine a specific FMS parameter, enter the name of the parameter as follows:

FMSSET>PARAMETER_NAME

To change a specific FMS parameter, enter the name and value as follows:

FMSSET>PARAMETER_NAME=VALUE

where the equal sign (=) serves as a delimiter between the FMS Parameter name and its value to be assigned.

The SHOW parameter can be used to obtain various reports on the internals of FMS, including a list of all parameter values.

To return to your application and continue processing, enter the following command:

FMSSET>RETURN

Examples

As an example, you can turn all FMS output off except for displaying megaflops during factoring. Your application would be coded as follows:

        . . . 
        CALL FMSINI
        CALL FMSSET
        . . .

The following commands would be entered from the terminal or command file running the job:

PRINT=0 IPRF=1026 RETURN
