12.0. "User Subroutines" by KLOV01::WYLIE () Tue Oct 20 1987 05:23

    
    Would anyone who has a working example of a simple User Written
    Subroutine be willing to present the source code to the Digital
    community at large ??
    
    My own interest is to prove that I am at least compiling/linking
    /installing the new FUSELIB.EXE correctly, but more experienced
    users may wish to use the note to exchange useful subroutines.
    
    Thanks to all who reply,
    
    
    Alan.
    
    
    PS. my own (failed) attempts have been in VAX BASIC.

12.1Useless - but I know it works !KLOV01::WYLIEFri Oct 23 1987 04:5441
! I replaced our copies of FUSELIB.EXE and FUSEOBJ.OLB
! and now the subroutines seem to work, with the exception
! of subroutines which call other subroutines ( Im still
! trying to figure that one out ). I thought I may as well
! save somebody some typing so here is the MTHNAM program
! in VAX BASIC ( see User Subroutine Manual).

12.2creative uses of fuselibFDCV19::RYANTue Oct 27 1987 17:4816
    My group uses FUSELIB extensively: all our menus are subroutines
    in FUSELIB that are called within dialogue manager.  In this manner
    we invoke COBOL/FMS menus which are sharable images of FOCUS - instead
    of spawning subprocesses -and/or- resorting to HLI.
    
    While the majority of our routines are application specific, we
    do have a couple of subroutines for general usage - such as a fiscal
    date conversion routine - which is nothing more than an old COBOL
    routine tossed into FUSELIB.
    
    If you contact me directly, I'll point to you some programmers who
    work with FUSELIB every day.
