MODULE

PLBCMP GUI Only, 10.6

The MODULE instruction declares a PL/B module object variable. The MODULE object is implemented as a PL/B runtime internal object to manage the current program module being executed where it is executing. The MODULE object provides an interface and control of operations for PL/B programs including the main program and load modules. The MODULE object declaration uses the following statement format:

Where:

label

Optional. A Data Label.

Flags Affected: NONE

Note the following:

1. The MODULE object represents the current PL/B program being executed.

2. There are no properties for a MODULE object.

3. There are no events for a MODULE object.

4. There are no PL/B instructions other than methods that are used with a MODULE object. The methods performed for the MODULE object only take affect for the program module where the PL/B runtime is executing. The MODULE object has the following methods:

 

Method	This method ...
InitializeUda	restores the current program module UDA to be the same as originally loaded for the module.
Unload	Tis implemented to unload a load module when the PL/B runtime is using the 'PLB_DYNAMICLOADMOD=ON' keyword. This method can only be used to unload PL/B load modules. This method cannot unload the PL/B main program.
