Description

dmmres creates a dataset with nw data elements in the Dynamic Memory buffer. It performs the same operation as dmmall, but the database manager attributes (unit, name, type) are defined upon creation of the DMM dataset. The size of the dataset is specified in data elements, as opposed to dmmall, where the size is specified in integer*4 words. The identifier ident identifies the portion of allocated memory and it is tied to the allocated memory until the memory is explicitly released. Re-allocation preserves the identifier, although the allocated memory may reside somewhere else in the memory stack. Thus, reference to the allocated memory must always be made by the offset function dmmptr(ident) which is located in the include file memcom.ins.
