This manual describes the OASIS system EXEC Language. It provides sufficiently detailed information necessary for the use of this language product in conjunction with the OASIS Operating System. The OASIS EXEC Language is a process control language used to perform repetitive functions of the operating system. It can be compared to the JCL (Job Control Language) used on larger computers with the added capabilities of operator interaction and conditional execution. With EXEC programs an operator can perform tasks with less chance for error and with less knowledge about the operating system. For example an EXEC program might be written to perform the daily disk backups. The operator would merely type the name of the EXEC program (it might even be executed automatically by another EXEC program) and the program would instruct him about which disks to load, where they can be found, what to do with them afterwards and perform the actual copying.
