Appendix B. Programming with GDDM under VM/CMS

GDDM V3R2 Base Application Programming Guide
SC33-0867-01

This appendix describes the use of GDDM under the VM/CMS operating system. It contains the following topics:

Compiling, loading, and running a GDDM PL/I application program
Running a GDDM utility program
Data sets and file processing
Display terminal conventions
Using APL terminals
Batch processing
Running programs under VM/XA

Invoking the GDDM print utility is described in the GDDM Base Application Programming Reference book.

Note: GDDM cannot be run in the VM CMS/DOS environment. Therefore, it cannot be successfully invoked under VM/CMS by application programs compiled using DOS compilers such as the PL/I DOS Optimizing Compiler.

When writing an application program, you must access MACLIBs to compile your programs, if you are to include the GDDM standard declarations. You must also access TXTLIBs to load your program, and possibly to run your program, as described in "How to compile, load, and run a PL/I GDDM application program" in topic B.1.
