COBOL Manual for TNS/E Programs (H06.08+, J06.03+)

establishes the length of the reply table, controlling how many replies are saved for each
requesting process (opener).
sync-id
is an unsigned integer numeric literal in the range 1 through 255. In any requester process
that opens the server process, the value in the SYNCDEPTH phrase of the OPEN statement
cannot exceed sync-id.
When you do not use the SYNCDEPTH LIMIT phrase, sync-id defaults to 1. A Pathway
server never needs a SYNCDEPTH LIMIT greater than 1.
REPLY CONTAINS phrase
specifies the number of characters of a reply message that are to be saved in the reply table.
The default is 0.
reply-length
is an unsigned integer numeric literal. Its value is the maximum number of characters from
a reply message to be saved in the reply table. The upper limit is 2MB.
file-name
is the name of a file whose longest record’s length is the number of characters from a reply
message to be saved in the reply table.
ERROR CODE phrase
error
is an unsigned integer numeric item for storing an error code for a reply message, which
you must set. It can be in the Working-Storage Section, the File Section, or the Linkage
Section.
MESSAGE SOURCE phrase
message
is an alphanumeric item that is:
• Defined in the Working-Storage Section, Extended-Storage Section, File Section, or
Linkage Section
• Aligned on an even character boundary within a record
