Chapter 6. BPXWDYN: a text interface to dynamic allocation and dynamic
output
Requesting dynamic allocation
TU(hex-tu-value)
Builds an allocation text unit (TU) from the specified string.
For example, alloc tu(000100010002c1c2) is equivalent to alloc fi(ab).
TU can be used multiple times in an allocation request.
