Because MDBS.DDL uses an overlay technique, this working disk must reside on the default drive in order to execute. MDBS.DDL. 2. .. MDBS.. DMS. can be used in either the direct or indirect forms. you intend to use the indirect form, then you need to select one of the fifteen files RlWO, RlWl, ..., R3W4. B shows the Appendix DML commands included on each of these a file fcommands lies. You should select that includes all D ML be used which are to in your application program. This you can specify a file of your own. Alternatively, is created by editing DMSTAB.MAC to eliminate any DML file commands that are not needed by your application program. This edited file must then be assembled by an assembler that The resulting REL file can then be produces REL output. R3W4 o r used in place of RlWO, . . . , in the The file that you choose installation or create procedure. for indirect DML usage will be referred to as RnWm.REL in MDBS.DMS. If. Rlwl,. the following. discussion.. Prior to linking MDBS.DMS and your application program, you need to create a CP/M DMS library called CPFIDFIS.REL. This requires the use of a library manager (e.g., LIB). Create CPMDMS.REL by entering the following operating system command line: LIB. CPMDMS. =. DMS,OSCPM,A,Z/E. This. and Z.REL OSCPM.REL, A.REL, assumes that the DMS.REL, are on the default drive. intend you to use MDBSRTL, the same approach employed, is except use RTL instead of DMS and CPMRTL insteaá of CPMDMS.. files.
