Technical Notes

  • This Built-In Function allows a function to dynamically change from heavy usage to light usage (and vice-versa). For example:

...

          if (*jobmode = B)

...

             use SET_FOR_HEAVY_USAGE

     else

...

          else
        use SET_FOR_LIGHT_USAGE endif
  • At every entry or (re)entry the heavy/light usage option is set by the calling parent process, or adopted from a *DIRECT caller, so at every invocation you should positively (re)set the usage option.

  • This built-in executes very quickly and imposes little overhead.
