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.
