General Command Processing Scheme
f. The thread places the response (possibly empty, depending on the command
requirements) into a predefined output object list (defined as part of the
command context space).
Steps b through f are repeated until the input list is exhausted and the output list
represents a complete response to the original DSNM command. During the
process, the thread can define its own lists and add members to it for
intermediate results.
4. When the command has been completely processed, the thread must free all the
user-allocated lists and then stop by returning an appropriate return code to the
frame.
5. The frame then formats the response and returns it to the DSNM requester. The
frame is responsible for freeing the input and output object lists.
Note. Part of the command context space is a user-defined area where the thread
can define and manipulate intermediate lists.
