- LAMPDQ is an interface that lets you execute commands on a VM host and
- see the output in an EPM window. To try it, you can compile LAMPDQ.E
- to LAMPDQ.EX, upload LAMPDQ.EXC to the host as LAMPDQ EXEC, and enter
- the EPM command LINK LAMPDQ. This will add a menu item "VM cmds".
- The GETHOST entry requires that GETHOST.EX be in the EPMPATH (GETHOST.E
- is included in the sample macros directory). The ability to load host
- files from the HLIST output by pressing Alt+1 requires that ALT_1.EX be
- linked (ALT_1.E is included in the sample macros directory). HOSTPRT
- saves the file to a temporary host file, then sends a command to the host.
- You will need to change the command sent, and/or write an exec on the
- host that takes the printer nickname and does appropriate SPOOL, TAG
- and PRINT commands. If you have any non-fullscreen VM commands that you
- execute frequently, you might want to add them to the VM Cmds menu.
-
- In order to execute any host command, LAMPDQ EXEC must be running on the
- host. You should have HOST_SUPPORT = 'EMUL' in your MYCNF.E. This should
- work with USING = 'CM' or USING = 'IBM'; I always use the former.
-
- If you like this and want to have it linked automatically, you could add
- to your MYSTUFF.E:
- definit
- 'linkverify lampdq'
- and then recompile. If you don't want to recompile the macros, you could
- create a PROFILE.ERX in your PATH or EPMPATH containing:
- /* Rexx profile for EPM */
- 'linkverify lampdq'
- and then turn on the Rexx profile support by entering PROFILE ON in the
- EPM command line, then selecting Options / Save Options.
