Module id number: CSS/107
--------------------------

Module name:      AMOS/DAMOS Utilityhelp
-----------------------------------

Actual release:   04.02            Release date: 851015
-----------------------            --------------------

                  04.01 ( NOT SCL)               850625
Previous release: 03.02            Release date: 840507
-----------------------            --------------------




New facilities:
---------------


  >> Release 2 <<

  The name of the program is read from the first line of the parameter file
  and exported via the record

  PROG_ID :
  RECORD
    P_FSN: file_system_name;
    P_VOL: volume_name;
    P_NAMELIST: namelisttype;
    P_NAMENO: integer;
    P_FROMADAM : integer;
  END;

  Interface to the database containing completion codes via

  PROCEDURE LOOKUP_ERROR_TEXT
      (R3;  "C K  @ ERROR_TEXT SAVE AREA (132 chars = 66 words)
       R7;  "C K  COMPLETION CODE
       R6): "- D  LINK
           error_done;

  The database must consist of two files situated in the same directory as the
  program :

  DAMOS AMOS
  ----  ----
  DC.X  CC.X : two word byte pointers to
  DC.T  CC.T : error texts

Changes:
--------

  >> Release 3.2 <<

  'Open File' prints the name of the file or directory that gives
  problem.
  (PR 1017)

  The current file name is t«soh»aken from current directory in parameter
  file in DAMOS version (AMOS version has done this for a long time).
  This will solve the problem of using additional filesystem(s).
  (PR 1085)



  >> Release 4.1 <<

  ( MXAMOS only : )
  When compiled with the constant 'NO_TOS' true, the resulting link
  module will operate without TOS ( and therefore will it neither
  support nor need disk access ).


Errors corrected:
-----------------

  >> Release 3.1 <<

  ( DAMOS only : )
  This module opens CIN,COUT and OIN. The number of (file) connections
  is optimized by opening CIN and only open COUT and OIN if their names
  differ from the name of CIN (If not then just copy the file handle
  from CINFILETYPE.F to COUTFILETYPE.F or OINFILETYPE.F).

  The rationale is
  a) it saves resources of type FDCBS
  b) There is a short delay (at least one second) in TMS for each
     switch between two connections i.e. interactive programs
     are speeded up when the input and output stream share connection.

  Version 2.2 failed on two accounts :
  1) The volume name was not taken into consideration.
  2) Two files need only have the same number of names to
     be considered identical.

  >> Release 4.2 <<

  Minor errors in module generation corrected
