LOCK-FRAME Command

The LOCK-FRAME command locks a specified frame in memory.

Format

LOCK-FRAME number

Parameter(s)

number

Decimal number of the frame to be locked.

Description

The LOCK-FRAME command is useful when you expect to access a particular frame repeatedly over a period of time, since a frame locked in memory cannot be swapped out to disk.

The hexadecimal work address of the memory buffer where the frame is core-locked displays on your screen when you lock a frame. The frame remains core-locked until it is released by the UNLOCK-FRAME command.

This example locks frame 287 in memory:

>LOCK-FRAME 287

[11] FRAME LOCKED AT LOCATIONX’03E800’
