I received so many answers to my IBM 370 VM/CMS query it is easier
to thank through the net.

Ada and Assembler

[Henrik Quintel]

Dear all,
is it possible to link an external assembler file to an Ada program and to
call an assembler operation from an Ada program?
If yes, please let me know how. Perhaps it is also possible to include
assembler code direct in the Ada Code? I have searched in the AARM but I
haven't found anything that has something to do with interfacing to
assembler code. So it would be very friendly if someon ecan give me a hint
for this problem.

Thanks in adavance.

Yours Henrik

The Ada terminology for what you are wanting is Machine Code Insertions.

Please consult your compiler documentation for information on that subject.

Would that fit your needs?

Absolutely.  Appendix B.1 discusses "pragma import".  There will be some
vendor-specific incantations relating to actually doing the link; check your
vendor documentation.

Chapter 13 discusses Ada machine code insertions.  CAUTION: machine code
insertions are NOT for the faint-of-heart.

Dear all,
thanks for all your answers. They help me a lot. Great!

Thanks to everybody!
I'll consider all these considerations in arranging a new solution.

Riccardo,

If you want to use TCP/IP but make it look like a (reliable) UDP/IP 
protocol at a higher level, one way to do it is to layer a record 
structure on top of TCP that sends size in bytes as a fixed length 
preamble of every message. You read the size, and then loop until you 
have read the correct number of bytes for the entire message.

Another way to do it is by using streams.

Regards,
Bob

Hi,

    Thanks for your help.

     I have now figured out how to get it to recognise more than one
directory  (separated by spaces) but I cannot yet figure out how to get it
to recognise directory names with spaces in them. Is it possible?

     Best wishes

     Gwynnnn

Re: Thanks

[stephane richard]

Only trick I can suggest for that is perhaps to try putting the path in 
quotes?

such as:

"c:\Program Files\unitfiles.ads"

no garantees, it's a trick I use for command line parameters for windows 
apps...might not work in your case :-).

You can enclose them in quotes, or you can use the DOS 8.3 name.
