MOUNTF USER'S GUIDE   --   1982-SEP-09   --   JWB





Purpose:  Issue a tape mount from inside a program.

Usage:    CALL MOUNTF(DEVICE,BLKSIZ,LRECL,DENSTY,VOLUME,  STATUS)

          Issues the equivalent of:

          $MOUNT/FOREIGN/BLOCK=blksiz/RECORD=lrecl/DENSITY=densty -
                   device  volume

          Inputs:

            DEVICE - CHAR*6  - Device name - e.g. '_MTA0:' -
                               May be a logical name
            BLKSIZ - INTEGER - Blocksize - e.g. 8192 -
                               Must be between 20 and 65532
            LRECL  - INTEGER - Logical record size - e.g. 128 -
                               Must be .LE. BLKSIZ
            DENSTY - INTEGER - Tape density (bpi) - e.g. 1600 -
                               Must be 800, 1600, or 6250
            VOLUME - CHAR*6  - Volume ID (strap label) - e.g. 'U1234A'

          Output:

            STATUS - INTEGER - System status code from $MOUNT

Restriction:  The device must be allocated to your process before
              issuing the call to MOUNTF.  MOUNTF does not return
              until the tape is mounted and on-line.

Linking:  Include in the $LINK command or options file:

          ...,BUILD:[BLDUTIL.LIB]MOUNTF.OBJ,...
