Summary
The OSS_PID_NULL_ procedure returns a null OSS process ID.
Syntax for C Programmers
#include <cextdecs(OSS_PID_NULL_)>
__int32_t OSS_PID_NULL_ ( void );
• CEXTDECS (through the included file TNSINTH) defines 32-bit values as the typedef
__int32_t, which for TNS and TNS/R compiles is defined as long and for TNS/E compiles
is defined as int.
Syntax for TAL Programmers
oss-pid := OSS_PID_NULL_;
Returned Value
INT (32)
Null OSS process ID.
OSS Considerations
A null OSS process ID can be passed to a procedure such as PROCESS_GETINFOLIST_ to indicate
that the OSS process ID parameter is not present (an alternative to omitting the parameter). The
value of the null OSS process ID can change from one RVU to another.
