Does anyone know of a way to compiling an MFS so it gets loaded immediately rather than having to switch between applications or restarting OI please?

Re-attaching the volume that uses the MFS doesn't seem to work. I have also tried using Run Rev_Compiler "MY_MFS","","","" (as suggested by Andrew Mcauley in 1997 instead of 'expendable') but get an error 'the procedure type is invalid', suggesting that a further parameter might be required.

Running RTP5 works fine but doesn't replace the code in memory.

Hi David,

Try using RTP27 directly, e.g.

 call RTP27( "MY_MFS*MYAPP" )

And see if that does the trick…

David,

Not sure if this will help you in this instance but I usually do all the logic *outside* of the MFS as a called subroutine/function from the MFS.

This way I never have to touch it, can just compiled my called routine(s).

I have even just used one MFS program for every MFS regardless and pass parameters out to the calling program.

And have also made a call from the called program for easier testing/debugging. That way I can tell myFirstCall what to call.

I.E.

MFS -] myFirstCall -] ActualLogicbasedCall

HTH

I'm not sure this will work with an MFS… I have used "GARBAGECOLLECT" to do what you want with other newly compiled programs and it works for me.

Perfect!
