TS/MP 2.5 Pathsend and Server Programming Manual

This is a mandatory parameter.
inputrequest-len
INT:value
is the byte length of the data contained in message-buffer. The range of acceptable values is 0
through 32767 bytes.
This is a mandatory parameter.
inputmaximum-reply-len
INT:value
is the maximum number of bytes that the reply message from the server-class can contain. The range
of acceptable values is 0 through 32767 bytes.
No more than maximum-reply-len bytes of the actual reply are placed into message-buffer upon
successful completion of a send.
It is not an error if the server replies with a byte count not equal to the maximumreply- len value
specified by the requestor in the call to this procedure. If the server replies with a byte count greater
than the maximum-reply-len value, the actual bytes transferred are truncated to
maximum-reply-len.
This is a mandatory parameter.
outputactual-reply-len
INT:ref:EXT:1
returns a count of the number of bytes returned in the server process reply. This parameter is for
waited I/O only and can be omitted for nowait I/O. The return value of this parameter is 0 if nowait
I/O is used. For nowait I/O, the actual reply length is returned by AWAITIOX.
inputtimeout
INT(32):value
specifies the maximum amount of time, in hundredths of a second, that the ACS Subsystem ROUT
process waits for the completion of this send. This value must be either -1D or a value greater than
0D. The default is -1D (wait indefinitely).
If there is an outstanding I/O operation to a server process when the SERVERCLASS_DIALOG_SEND_
operation times out, the I/O operation is canceled.
For information about timeout for waited and nowait operations, see “Timeout Considerations for
Pathsend Programming” (page 111).
For more information about Pathsend error 904 and file-system error 40, see “Server Timeout”
(page 111).
inputflags
INT:value
flags.<15> indicates that this operation is to be performed nowait if the value is 1. A value
of 0 indicates that this operation is to be performed waited. The default is 0.
flags.<0:14> must be 0.
outputscsend-op-num
INT:ref:EXT:1
returns the server-class send operation number. You can use the server-class send operation number
in place of the file-number parameter in calls to CANCEL, CANCELREQ, and AWAITIOX for
