FTAM/9000 runs on HP OTS/9000, an HP network product that provides
a lower-level OSI protocol “stack,” in conjunction with an 802.3 network
link.
Audience

programming language and who need to correct errors in their
applications. This manual is also for programmers who need to consult
the FTAM/9000 reference pages (which are copies of the online man

MAP 3.0 Interface Note
Users should note that the FTAM/9000 programmatic interface is taken
from the MAP 3.0 specification for FTAM. The MAP 3.0 FTAM
specification includes error codes and other details, which consequently
appear in the programmatic interface to FTAM/9000. This document
contains numerous references to MAP–based details found in
FTAM/9000.
