PSEND OPEN
Verbs
3–154 106126 Tandem Computers Incorporated
UNMAPPED
specifies that the structure of the request and reply messages is unmapped.
NCL treats the reply message as a sequence of contiguous bytes. NCL does
not interpret the data in an unmapped reply message. An unmapped reply
message can contain any binary data.
MAP= map-name
specifies the name of the map used to describe and interpret the structure of a
reply message from a Pathway server class.
PSNDID= system-pathsend-id
contains the name of the ID to be used for the PSEND OPEN verb. This identifier
is the identifier that is known to the system. It is sometimes necessary to have the
same Pathway server class referred to with different local identifiers. As many
local identifiers (ID= local-pathsend-id ) as necessary can be specified by
using multiple issues of the PSEND OPEN verb. If this operand is omitted, NCL
operates as if the ID= local-pathsend-id operand specifies both the system
and local file identifier.
Considerations
The &SYS.PSEND.RC system variable reflects the result of all PATHSEND
operations within NCL. NCL sets this variable on completion of the PSEND
OPEN verb, as follows:
Return Code Meaning
8 Request accepted. This code is also returned if the security exit is nonexistent.
12 Request rejected by security exit.
16 An error occurred. See &SYSMSG for more information.
See also PSEND CLOSE, PSEND SEND, and PSEND SET.

Programming Guide.
