(KMON)

Loads and runs a program from the system volume or from the speciﬁed ﬁle-

structured device. See also FRUN, RUN, SRUN, and V/VRUN.

Format

R ﬁlespec

Parameter

ﬁlespec

Speciﬁes the program to be executed. The default device is SY, and the default

ﬁle type is SAV.

Description

The R command is unlike the RUN command in one way: the default location for the

program run by the R command is the SY device, while the default location for the

program run by the RUN command is the DK device. Use the R command only with

background jobs, including privileged jobs, under a mapped monitor. (Use FRUN

to execute a foreground job under an unmapped multi-job monitor or a mapped

monitor.)

The R and the RUN commands are alike in two ways:

• They use the bitmap in the core control block (CCB) to load jobs.

• With each command, you can specify any random-access device as the location

of the utility to be run.

The following command loads and executes MYPROG.SAV from device SY:

.R MYPROG

You can use the R command to execute a background virtual job under a mapped

monitor. The R command:

• Creates a virtual memory partition for the job.

• Creates a region 0 and window 0 deﬁnition block.

• Sets up the user-mapping registers.
