Integrating UL/SPF with Other Subsystems

1.2 Integrating UL/SPF with Other Subsystems
UL/SPF and any of its constituent products can be easily integrated with other User
Language subsystems. Whenever a UL/SPF component product is exiting, it first
checks to see if the global variable
SIRIUS.COMM
exists and has a non-null value. If so,
the UL/SPF product performs a subsystem transfer using the value in SIRIUS.COMM as
the name of the target subsystem.
For example, the following code fragment lets you transfer into SIRMON, and then,
when SIRMON exits, control is transferred to the application subsystem
MENUSYS
,
provided that
NEXTPROC
is the current subsystem's communication global variable:
%RC = $SETG('SIRIUS.COMM','MENUSYS')
%RC = $SETG('NEXTPROC','XFER')
%RC = $SETG('XFER','SIRMON')
STOP
In addition to the individual User Language subsystems that implement the UL/SPF
products (SirDBA, SirFile, SirLib, SirMon, SirPro, and SirScan), Sirius distributes an
umbrella UL/SPF subsystem: The ULSPF subsystem provides a menu that contains
entries for all UL/SPF components installed at a site.
The UL/SPF subsystems support fast path navigation. For example, a SirMon user can
transfer into SirPro Option 1 by typing:
=M.1.1
