Hi... I'm looking for any information on SVC's, and what they do...
All I have info on right now, is the SVC 202, (To send a command to
CMS or CP or whatever...) Does anyone out there have a list of what
different SVC numbers do? Also, one problem w/ using SVC 202 if you're
writing something that say uses words greater than 8 bytes, Something like
if you're writing a prg that sends messages to other users, if you have
a word that's longer than 8 bytes, the program will chop it up into pieces
8 bytes each. So, a message Like Hellothere would come out as Hellothe re
Does anyone know how to transfer something to the system directly, w/o
having to split it up into doubleword chunks? Any help appreciated...
Thanks...
