This document gives a description of Interface Modules as used by application programs (tasks) running under ADAM with the parameter system based on the SUBPAR library. It describes Interface Modules and some related aspects of the parameter system in fine detail and is intended as a reference document – users requiring an introduction to the parameter system and Interface Modules should read SG/4 first.
For the purpose of the examples it is assumed that a user interface similar to ICL, the Interactive Command Language, is being used. Note that the actual use of keywords, prompts, etc. is determined by the user interface, which may or may not support the various features.
