set-abs Command

The set-abs command designates a file as the data section associated to the boot ABS, or control the boot ABS specifications.

Syntax

set-abs file.reference {(options)}

Parameter(s)

options

number

Designates the number of frames to load into boot ABS. The number should be large enough to ensure the entire code area in the ABS area is loaded. If the number is not specified, the entire ABS area is loaded. This option is relevant only with the l option.

l

Copies the ABS area from the abs file to boot ABS.

s

Sizes the abs file to the size of boot ABS. If boot ABS is larger than specified in the abs file, frame specification items are added to the abs file as needed.

If no options are specified, the abs file is set up to define the boot ABS area.

This command is intended for use only by system development personnel.

CAUTION

The set-abs command is normally inserted in the system-coldstart macro, and should be used with extreme caution.

Example(s)

Loads 1950 frames from the abs file into boot ABS.
