SOR–Symbolic Output Routine
25.2. SORASC$ and SORASCA$–Output ASCII
Image
The SORASC$ and SORASCA$ routines write an ASCII image from a location specified
by the calling program to the symbolic output element.
Calling Sequence
L A0,(image-length,image-location)
LMJ X11,SORASC$ (or SORASCA$)
error return
normal return
where:
image-length
The length in words of the symbolic image to output.
image-location
The address of the symbolic image to output.
If this is the first call to output an image, SOR calls SDFO to write the SDF Label control
record. If the SORASC$ entry point is called, SOR checks for and suppresses words of
ASCII spaces at the end of the image. If the SORASCA$ entry point is called, there is no
space suppression and image-length words are written. SOR calls SDFO to write the
symbolic image.
The following are the causes of SOR error returns:
• If the image-location is zero but the image-length is nonzero, SOR returns with A5
zero.
• If an unrecoverable SDFO I/O error is encountered, SOR returns with A5 containing
the nonzero I/O error status code.
• If the image-length is over the maximum of 2,047 words, SOR returns with A5
containing the illegal word count.
