Linking to lower level programs

An application program that receives control following the automatic scheduling may link (DC LINK) to lower level programs.

• If one or more scheduled PCBs are passed as parameters to the lower level program, the lower level program may issue DL1 calls using the passed PCBs.
• If a program is linked to as a lower level program, it must not be named in the DLPDTAB, since naming an application program in the DLPDTAB causes automatic scheduling to be performed. Automatic scheduling must not be performed on these lower level programs.
