ZFTM-DDL-READ-ATTR is defined in the file ZFTMDDL. For a description of this
structure, see the OSI/FTAM Programming Reference Manual.
FTAM API Concepts
This subsection describes the general tasks you will perform in setting up the
programming environment for your FTAM application:
•
Declaring external procedures
•
Initializing the API
•
Calling a procedure
•
Using predefined data structures
Declaring External Procedures
To gain access to the FTAM API, your program must use the external declarations that
NonStop supplies. The FTAM API procedures are located in library files on the
NonStop system, and external declarations give your application access to these files.
To access FTAM library files in the TAL programming language, include these source
files in your program:
•
EXTDECS0 file (as $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.EXTDECS0), which provides the external
declarations for the FTM, APS, and MFM procedures (which make up the FTAM
API)
