Batch Mode Simulation : Assign Files

Assign Files

The Simulation tool allows you to use programs to simulate the activities in your system. These programs may be written in SCL or a more conventional programming language (e.g., C). The SCL programs are ASSIGNed to either internal primitive activities or external activities.

External activities are part of the system environment and for purpose of the execution are considered permanently active.

Internal activities are part of the system. When an internal activity is started, the program ASSIGNed to the activity is started. Correspondingly, stopping, suspending or resuming of these activities causes appropriate changes in the status of the program.

The syntax to assign an activity is:

ASSIGN activity_name ’scp_name’
