11 INSTRUCTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
ZRESERVE
Instruction
• Prohibits other programs from using a resource to which a resource number is assigned.
ZRESERVE <resource number>[,<timeout value>]
Syntax
resource number
timeout value
ZRESERVE 1, "0:0:5:0"
Examples
• The ZRESERVE instruction prohibits other programs from using a resource to which a
Description
resource number allocated among the programmers is assigned when the resource is
shared by multiple programs executed at once. A program that executes the ZRESERVE
instruction can obtain the exclusive use of the resource.
• In order to terminate the exclusive use, specify the same resource number as in the
ZRESERVE instruction that prohibited the use, and execute the ZRELEASE instruction.
• The ZRESERVE and ZRELEASE instructions are used as a pair so that other programs
cannot use the resource for a specified time or while the processing involving the resource
is performed.
• The programmers should reach an arrangement in advance for the resources to which
resource numbers are to be assigned. Then they should create programs in such a way
that the ZRESERVE instruction is executed immediately before using the resources and
the ZRELEASE instruction is executed immediately after using it.
• Specify the number assigned to the resource whose use should be prohibited for other
programs in <resource number>.
• If another program has executed the ZRESERVE instruction specifying the same resource
number before a program executes the ZRESERVE instruction, it must wait before
prohibiting the use of the resource from other programs. Specify the maximum time that
the program waits in this case in <timeout value>. The specification should be made in the
following format. (The program execution is stopped while waiting.)

Available only in execution mode
Specify the number (0 to 31) allocated among the
programmers and assigned to a resource used in a
program.
Specify the maximum time that is allowed to wait
before prohibiting other programs to use a resource,
in the format "HH:MM:SS:R."

(express 0 to 900 ms using the
numbers from 0 to 9)
Prohibit other programs from using the resource to
which resource number 1 is assigned. A timeout
error is generated if it cannot be prohibited within 5
seconds.
