All ASTERIX methods are grouped into packages. Each package has assigned to it a different number, defined as an integer constant in the include file /star/asterix/kernel/lib/inc/AST_PKG. To define a new set of methods, simply add a unique identifier and number to this file, eg.
INTEGER NEW__PKG
PARAMETER ( NEW__PKG = 123 )
If adding more methods and/or definitions to an existing package then no changes need
be made to this file.
