A-Shell Reference

LOAD <fspec> {switches}

LOAD <common-module-name> /c

The LOAD command loads a module into "user memory". See MEMORY for an explanation of the concept.

Switches

Switch

Function

/L{OCK}

Locks the module in memory so that it cannot be deleted, except by specifying the /UNLOCK switch on the DEL command.

/U{NLOCK}

Unlock is needed in order to reload (update in memory) a module that was previously locked with the /LOCK switch.

/C

Indicates that the specified module name is not a disk file to be loaded into user memory, but the name of a COMMON module, which is to be initialized. This distinction is necessary since COMMON modules continue to be implemented via internal memory buffers within A-Shell rather than via user memory.

/?

Writes switch listing and usage info to the screen.

 

Comments

The maximum number of modules which can be loaded into user memory per job is 96.
