TOOLIN interface

With the TOOLIN Interface, you supply ICETOOL statements in the TOOLIN data set. ICETOOL prints messages in the TOOLMSG data set, but does not return information directly to your program.

To use the TOOLIN interface, set a value of 0 in register 1, or place the address of a 4-byte field containing X'80000000' in register 1, before calling ICETOOL as follows:

         ...
         SLR   R1,R1            TOOLIN INTERFACE - METHOD 1
         LINK  EP=ICETOOL       CALL ICETOOL
         ...
         LA    R1,NOPLIST       TOOLIN INTERFACE - METHOD 2
         LINK  EP=ICETOOL       CALL ICETOOL
         ...
