8.2.3 ASTArt

ASTA[RT] postcond │
│
│		 [ SP ]
SP ablockargument		 │
│
│
Editor’s note:
The above definition allows for at most one ablockargument.
Should it not be:
    ASTA[RT] postcond │
│
│		 [ SP ]
SP L ablockargument		 │
│
│

ASTArt enables asynchronous event processing for all or selected event classes. The three forms of ASTArt are given the following names:

   a) L evclass Selective ASTArt
b) (L evclass) Exclusive ASTArt
c) Empty argument list: ASTArt All

In the Selective ASTArt, the named event classes are enabled for asynchronous event processing as described below. In the Exclusive ASTArt, all event classes except the named event classes are enabled for asynchronous event processing as described below. In the ASTArt All, all event classes are enabled for asynchronous event processing as described below.

If any of the classes being enabled for asynchronous event processing are currently enabled for synchronous event processing an error occurs with an ecode = "M102".

Event classes are enabled by ASTArt only for the process executing the ASTArt command. It is not an error to enable an event class which is already enabled for the asynchronous model.
