How to Use CULEPOWR as a Subroutine

To use CULEPOWR as a subroutine, use the name CULEPWR and link it with each calling output module, as shown in the following sample job control language:

// JOB module-name
// OPTION CATAL
 PHASE module-name,*
 INCLUDE module-name
 INCLUDE CULEPOWR
 ENTRY module-name
// EXEC LNKEDT
/*

Module-name is the name of the output module that is responsible for all printing or punching.

To invoke CULEPWR from an output module:

First—Issue a CALL to CULEPWR from the module:

CALL CULEPWR

Second—Include a calling parameter list that points to the address of the control switch and, if indicated, to the JECL information:

Use this code...	To indicate that...
'C'	JECL information is passed through the CALL. A second address is expected in the calling parameter list to point to the JECL information area.
'R'	The JECL information is read through the card reader.

Third—Test for the control switch return code value:

A return code of...	Means...
'0'	No errors. VSE/POWER segmentation performed.
'1'	Invalid control switch value found. VSE/POWER segmentation not attempted.
'2'	No input card or more than one input card was found in SYSRDR. VSE/POWER segmentation not performed.
'3'	Internal error.
'4'	Invalid JECL keyword. VSE/POWER segmentation not performed.
'5'	An unrecognizable error code returned after VSE/POWER segmentation was attempted.
'6'	A hex '04' error code returned after VSE/POWER segmentation was attempted. See the Segmentation Macro section of the VSE/POWER manual.
'7'	A hex '08' error code returned after VSE/POWER segmentation was attempted. See the Segmentation Macro section of the VSE/POWER manual.
