MODE - query some execution mode parameters.
Usage:
iflag = mode(modtyp)
Where:
- modtyp
- is an integer value specifying the particular mode being
tested.
- 1
- test if the program is running in TSS.
- 2
- test if the program is using ASCII.
- 3
- test if the program is using Hex floating point.
- iflag
- will be 0 if the test is false, 1 if it is true, and -1
if "modtyp" has an invalid value.
Description:
MODE is used to test the runtime condition for a program,
batch vs. TSS, BCD vs ASCII, or binary vs hex floating point.
Notes:
The most useful test is for TSS. There is not likely to be a
good reason to use BCD, and hex mode may disabled at system
startup.
