General information

The stand-alone version of IOCP is shipped with the CPC as part of the Licensed Machine Code. Run the stand-alone version of IOCP to define the I/O configuration to the CPC before an operating system version of IOCP is installed.

The stand-alone program uses the object-action user interface and is designed for use with a keyboard or a mouse. If you are not familiar with using an object-oriented user interface, see Related information for the Stand-Alone IOCP User's Guide appropriate to your system.

You can use the stand-alone version of IOCP to save the IOCDS source file to the hard disk of the Support Element.

IOCDS source files on the SE hard disk can contain only 256,000 card records. Twenty additional records are reserved for IOCP messages. If the selected IOCP function includes writing the IOCDS source file to the SE and the file is too large, IOCP removes IOCP messages from the file to reduce its size until it is small enough to be written.

The stand-alone version of IOCP must be run in a logical partition that was activated with a minimum of 256 MB (MB equals 1 048 576 bytes) of storage.

The stand-alone version of IOCP removes any comment card that begins with *ICP or *IYP. Stand-alone IOCP uses *ICP comments for IOCP messages. When you generate an IOCDS, stand-alone IOCP removes these IOCP messages so that the resultant IOCDS source file only contains IOCP messages from the selected function.

The stand-alone version of IOCP does not have I/O recovery capability. I/O error conditions cause IOCP to terminate.
