Expand Management Programming Manual

PREFACE

This manual is for you if you are an experienced application

programmer in one of the following categories:

• TAL programmers, and COBOL85 programmers using ENTER TAL, who

are writing applications that control or monitor the EXPAND

subsystem.

• TACL users who are writing macros or routines that control or

monitor the EXPAND subsystem.

This manual provides subsystem-specific programming information

about the management-programming interface provided by Tandem for

managing the EXPAND subsystem. This interface is based on the

Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) and the Event Management

Service (EMS). (The latter facility was formerly called the

Event Management System.)

This manual serves as both a reference manual and a programmer's

guide for the development of management applications that use the

EXPAND subsystem.

This manual includes the following information:

• Descriptions of the definitions provided by the EXPAND subsys-

tem for use in the management-programming interface.

• Detailed descriptions of all programmatic commands that can

be sent to the EXPAND subsystem and their corresponding

responses.

• Detailed descriptions of all event messages that the EXPAND

subsystem can generate.

• Detailed descriptions of all error lists that can be returned

by the EXPAND subsystem.
