PSEND SEND
Verbs

PSEND SEND The PSEND SEND verb sends a request message to and receives a reply message from
a Pathway server class. You can send both the request message and the reply message
as either mapped or unmapped data structures. The mixing of mapped and
unmapped data structures, however, is not allowed. If both are mapped, you can use
a different map for the request message and the reply message.
PSEND SEND [ ID= local-pathsend-id ]
{ ARGS [ RANGE=( start , end ) ] |
DATA= text |
MDO= mdo-name [ HEADER={ YES | NO } ] |
VARS={ output-vars-list | variable * }
[ RANGE=( start , end ) ] }
TO
{ ARGS [ RANGE=( start , end ) |
MDO= mdo-name [ HEADER={ YES | NO } ] |
VARS={ input-vars-list | variable * }
[ RANGE=( start , end ) ] }
ID= local-pathsend-id
specifies the identity of the Pathway server class you want to access by using the
PSEND SEND verb. This Pathway server class becomes the current one. If this
operand is omitted, NCL accesses the last Pathway server class you identified by
ID= local-pathsend-id in a previous PSEND operation.
ARGS
specifies a range of generated variables for sending the request message. See
“Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for more
information. This operand is valid only if message structure is unmapped.
RANGE=( start , end )
determines the range of variables specified by the ARGS operand. See
“Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for more
information.
DATA= text
specifies a request message as a string of textual characters. This operand is valid
only if message structure is unmapped.
Note You must enclose the text in quotes if it contains any keywords.
