@GET-ALTERNATIVE-SYSTEM <file name 1>, <file name 2>, <IS RT LOADER IN SEGMENT FILE NO. 0?> [, <file name 3>], <IS ALT. "SPOOLING PROGRAM" IN SEGMENT-FILE NO. 0?> [, <file name 4>]

Load SINTRAN from a specified area to the image area and start SINTRAN.

<file name 1>
specifies SINTRAN:DATA or a similar file containing the first part of the operating system. This file must consist of 66 contiguous pages on disk.
<file name 2>
(default type = DATA) specifies MACM-AREA:DATA or a similar file containing the rest of the SINTRAN III system except the RT loader. It must be a contiguous file allocated immediately after <file name 1>.
<IS RT LOADER IN SEGMENT FILE NO. 0?>
YES = RT loader is take from segment file number 0. <file name 1> and <file name 2> must be SINTRAN:DATA and MACM-AREA:DATA. NO = a new RT loader is loaded from <file name 3> to segment file 0.
<file name 3>
name of the contiguous file where the RT loader resides. Specified only if previous parameter was no.
<IS ALT. "SPOOLING PROGRAM" IN SEGMENT-FILE NO. 0?>
YES = start the original system residing in SINTRAN:DATA, MACM-AREA:DATA and SEGFIL0:DATA. NO = another system on SEGFIL0 is loaded. Then the next parameter must be entered.
<file name 4>
name of the file where the spooling program resides. It must be a 4 page contiguous file. Specified only if the previous parameter was no.

Rules:

  1. Permitted only for user SYSTEM.
  2. The operating system is transferred to the memory image area (on SEGFIL0) and the system is started. Since this is a "cold start" (similar to CTOM2 - )HENT - 22!) all RT programs must be reloaded.
  3. Subsequent restarts will use the alternative system. To return to the normal system use
    @GET-ALTERNATIVE-SYSTEM SINTRAN, MACM-AREA, NO,, S-RTLOADER, YES
    The RT loader must previously have been placed on the file S-RTLOADER:DATA with the command
    @MAKE-ALTERNATIVE-RT-LOADER S-RTLOADER:DATA
  4. All files in this command must reside in the same directory as the current system.
