START
(KMON)
Initiates execution of the program currently in memory (loaded with the GET
command) at the address you specify.
Note that the START command is less versatile than the RUN command and may
not initialize all data structures needed to run a program.
Format
START [address]
Parameter
address
Specifies an optional even octal number representing any 16-bit address. If you
omit the address or if you specify 0, RT–11 uses the starting address that is in
location 40. If the address you specify does not exist or is invalid for any reason, a
trap to location 4 may occur and the monitor displays an error message. Note that
this command is valid for background jobs only, and not for extended-memory
virtual jobs.
Examples
1. This command loads MYPROG.SAV into memory and begins execution:
.GET MYPROG
.START
2. This command loads MYPROG.SAV, which has previously been linked with ODT,
into memory and begins execution at ODT’s starting address (obtained from the
link map):
.GET MYPROG
.GET ODT
.START 1222
.ODT V05.00
