User C Functions
You can write C routines that can be called from Programs or Macros. These routines can open, read, write, and close files. You can also specify any desired offset in the file, and display that position for reference. The location of these files is $ICCAP_ROOT/src.
IC-CAP imposes no limit on the number of files you can have open at one time. For limits of your operating system, refer to your operating system documentation.
The point-by-point assignment User C I/O capability increases IC-CAP's flexibility in accepting data sets from external sources. For additional information, refer to Assignment.
| • | To view the arguments required by any given function from within the program, create a standalone transform and supply the desired function name in the Function field. IC-CAP will provide labeled fields indicating the arguments required by that function for use in a transform. |
