FIX[/qualifier] taskname /READONLY_SEGMENT /REGION The FIX command causes an installed task or region to be loaded and locked into memory. Subsequent requests for the task or region may be serviced more quickly because it is memory resident and does not have to be loaded from the disk. Not all tasks will run properly when fixed. Certain tasks may expect data areas to contain certain values when loaded in from disk. The first time the task is run, these data areas may be modified and the task may run unexpectedly thereafter. Tasks that initialize their data areas, and therefore do not have this problem, are called serially re-entrant. Overlaid tasks may be fixed and, if their root segments are serially re-entrant, will run correctly. However, since their overlaid segments must still be read in from disk (except if the task was built using memory resident overlays), not much is to be gained. Only a privileged user may use the FIX command. 2 READONLY_SEGMENT FIX/READONLY_SEGMENT taskname The /READONLY qualifier allows the fixing of the read-only segment of a multi-user task. RSX-11M-PLUS only. 2 REGION FIX/REGION regionname The /REGION qualifier allows the fixing of a common region. RSX-11M-PLUS only.
