Parameters
Considerations
Summary
The CONVERTPROCESSNAME procedure converts a process name from local to
network form.
Syntax for C Programmers
This procedure does not have a C syntax, because it is superseded and should not be
used for new development. This procedure is supported only for compatibility with
previous software.
Syntax for TAL Programmers
Parameters
process-name input, output
INT:ref:3
is the process name beginning with “$” to be converted.
On return,
process-name contains the internal network form of the process
name: “\” in the first byte and the calling process’s system number in the second
byte, followed by the process name.
If
process-name does not begin with “$”, it is left unchanged.
Considerations
CONVERTPROCESSNAME truncates any process name that is longer than four
characters plus the “$”.
Note. This procedure is supported for compatibility with previous software and should not be
used for new development.
