Programs and modules loading

program_path

Specifies the default path where to search for COBOL intermediate files.

XCICS will look for a .gnt/.int/.acu in this directory only in a case when no alternative path was specified for the appropriate program in the PPT table. Otherwise it will look for a .int/.gnt/.acu in the specified path.

The default value is “$HOME/tp/release”.

IMPORTANT: This directory, as well as all alternate paths specified in PPT entries should contain only the results of a compilation without the -a option.

N.B: If using Microfocus Server Express 1.x both program_path and program_debug_path MUST refer to the debug directory (program_debug_path).

Syntax

set program_path="<absolute_path>"

program_debug_path

Specifies the default path where to search for COBOL executable files compiled for debug, so that they can be animated. This directory should contain the .cbl, .acu or .int and .idy files from your COBOL programs that are to be animated. XCICS will look for the .int/.acu in this directory after start of the emulation while an animation session (described below) was specified. Otherwise - for a normal session - the executable code will be taken from the program_path directory or from an alternate path.

N.B. This directory should contain all results of compilations with the -a option.

The default value is “$HOME/tp/debug”.

Syntax

set program_debug_path="<absolute_path>"

map_modules_path

Points to the path containing BMS compiled (.mod) modules.

XCICS will look for a module in this directory only in a case when no alternate path was specified for the appropriate MAPSET in the MPS table. Otherwise the module will be searched in the specified path. BMS_MODULES is therefore a kind of a default value for a XSDF modules directory.

The default value is the value pointed by $XSDF_MODULES_PATH.

Syntax:

set map_modules_path="<absolute_path>"

table_load_path

Points to the path containing Assembler compiled (.lod) tables.

XCICS will look for a table in this directory when a LOAD command is issued.

Syntax

set table_load_path="<absolute_path>"

program_asm_path

Points to the path containing X370 compiled assembler modules.

Syntax

set program_asm_path="<absolute_path>"

classpath

Defines the CLASSPATH for the embedded Java Virtual Machine.

Syntax

set classpath="<path>:<path>:...>
