The MTPR procedure assigns a value into a VAX internal processor register. Syntax: MTPR( ipr_register_expression, source_expression ); The 'ipr_register_expression' and 'source_expression' parameters are expressions compatible with the unsigned type. HP Pascal stores the value specified by 'source-expression' into the internal processor register specified by 'ipr-register-expression'. The HP Pascal compiler generates user-mode code. HP Pascal does not explicitly support the running of HP Pascal generated code in kernel mode. However, if the following rules are observed, then the generated code has a good chance of working as expected in elevated access modes: o All code must be compiled with the /NOCHECK qualifier or [CHECK(NONE)] attribute. The HP Pascal for OpenVMS VAX systems run-time signaling method relies on trying to execute the HALT instruction. In user-mode, this causes an exception which is a signal to the HP Pascal run-time library. In kernel-mode on an OpenVMS VAX system, this simply HALTs the machine. o Avoid all routine calls which translate into Run-Time Library calls. These include all I/O routines, several arithmetic routines, several string routines, etc.
