GPCRSS - Create Structure Store

Purpose

Use GPCRSS to create a structure store and attach it to your application.

If the current structure state is Structure Store Close (SSCL), it is set to Structure Store Open (SSOP)

A structure store is required if your application is to display graphical data on a workstation using output primitives and their attributes.

Before any editing of a structure is allowed, the application must select a structure store by issuing the Select Structure Store (GPSSS) subroutine. Before displaying any structure data on a workstation, the application must associate the structure store to the workstation by issuing the Associate Structure Store with Workstation (GPASSW) subroutine. For compatibility with previous releases, this subroutine, along with the Select Structure Store (GPSSS) subroutine, is called automatically during Open graPHIGS (GPOPPH) processing unless otherwise suppressed. If you suppress the default nucleus connection processing by using the Define Nucleus Connection Processing (DEFNUC) procopt default in either the Application Defaults Interface Block (ADIB) or the External Defaults File (EDF), then you must invoke this subroutine prior to opening a structure.
