[comp.os.vms] Accessing the PFN database

herzlich@NGP.UTEXAS.EDU (Larry Herzlich) (09/03/87)

I'm posting this for someone else so the wording may not be exactly
correct.
-----------------
Hopefully someone can provide some insight into a Real-time application
on a MicroVMS system.  I am trying to use mapped global sections for
sharing real-time data and was wondering...

   Has anyone ever used the $CRMPSC system service to associate a
section of process address space with page frame numbers (Map by PFN)
other than the I/O page?  I have not been able to determine which
page frame numbers are available for me to use.

   Basically, I'm trying to is create a permanent physical section of
450 pages to keep real-time data and then have another process be able
to read the mapped global section (but not modify it).

   Any insight into this application is greatly appreciated.
