SETCF instruction HLASM Language Reference SC26-4940-06 |
|
Use the SETCF instruction to call an external function to assign a character value to a SETC symbol. You can specify a many parameters—the exact number depending on factors such as the size of the program and of virtual storage—to pass to the external function routine. The SETCF instruction can be used anywhere that a SETC instruction
can be used.
>>-variable_symbol--SETCF--'function─name'----------------------> >--+----------------------+------------------------------------>< | .------------------. | | V | | '---,character_value-+-'
When a SETA or SETB symbol is specified in a character expression, the unsigned decimal value of the symbol (with leading zeros removed) is the character value given to the symbol. See SETC instruction for further information about setting SETC symbols, and ways to specify character expressions. |
