Transporting
After specifying either an encode or decode command, data can be transported
using a specified adapter. The transport adapter is called:
♦ Before the decoding adapter in an input card or
GET
♦ After the encoding adapter in an output card or
PUT
♦ Between the encoding and decoding adapters in a
GET where request data is
passed as the third parameter.
The
–TRANSPORT command is used in the command line of an encoding or
decoding adapter. If used from a
GET, the transport_adapter must support
request-reply and the adapter it is used with (the first parameter of the
GET) must
support both encode and decode functions.
For example:
-TRANSPORT '
transport_adapter ( command_line )'
Note When reversing the chained adapters and using the –ENCODE or -DECODE
commands rather than the –TRANSPORT command (or vice-versa) the behavior is
unaltered.
For example, the following
PUT function calls are functionally equivalent.
=PUT(" email ", "-TO [e-mail] –ENCODE ' SOAP (-T)'",
Message )
=PUT(" SOAP ", "-T –TRANSPORT ' email (-TO [e-mail] )'",
Message )
