error
INT:ref:1
returns a number indicating whether or not an error occurred. If error .<0:7>
equals 0 (zero), no error occurred and the line server was started. Otherwise, an
error occurred. Depending on the error, the line server may not have been started.
For a list of the numbers and the corresponding errors, see the Guardian Procedure
Calls Reference Manual.
server-name
INT:ref:3
is the name you want to assign to the new Exchange/RJE line server. The name
must begin with a dollar sign ($) followed by up to five alphanumeric characters,
the first of which must be a letter. If the line server is to be started on another
system, only four alphanumeric characters can follow the $. (This leaves room
for the node number to be inserted in the process ID.) The name must be left-
justified and blank-filled.
Line Activity None.
Considerations The NEWPROCESS procedure starts the Exchange/RJE line server. The above
description of the NEWPROCESS procedure describes the minimum requirements for
programmatically starting a named Exchange/RJE line server and indicating an error
if one occurred. This description omits a number of parameters that may be useful in
your particular situation. For a complete description of the NEWPROCESS procedure
and its parameters, see the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual.
After your program has started the line server, your program must format a startup
message, open the line server, pass the startup message to the line server process, and
then close the line server. For information on the required startup message, see
Section 4. For information on opening the line server process, see the OPEN
procedure later in this section.
In addition to the NEWPROCESS procedure, you can start the Exchange/RJE line
server with the RJESV command or from within the Exchange/RJE command
interpreter with the CONNECT command. For information on the RJESV command,
see Section 4. For information on the Exchange/RJE command interpreter’s
CONNECT command, see Section 3.
