The DLM_REGISTER procedure registers a Dynamically Loadable Module (DLM) in IDL that was not registered when starting IDL. This allows you to create DLMs using the MAKE_DLL procedure and register them in your current session without having to exit and restart IDL.

Example

Manually register and then call a routine within a DLM file that is not on !DLM_PATH:

DLM_REGISTER, '/users/myname/mycode.dlm'
...
; later on, we call a routine within the mycode DLM
MYROUTINE, a, b, c

IDL prints:

% Loaded DLM: MYCODE.

Syntax

DLM_REGISTER, File1 [, File2, ..., Filen]

The full path to the DLM module definition file to read.
