maximum-string-length). All the three are optional parameters; however,
when you specify a value for maximum-string-length, it should be in the range
of 1 through 7148. For a full description of contents-type and its usage, see the
OSI/FTAM Programming Guide.
Supported document types and their associated object identifiers include the
following:
tag input
INT(32):value
is for use in nowait mode only. Specify a unique value to identify this instance of
the procedure call. When the operation is complete, the MFM_AWAITIOX_
procedure returns the tag value, allowing your application to match the completion
with the correct instance of the procedure call. For details on the use of the tag
parameter, see the OSI/FTAM Programming Guide.
tag is an optional parameter.
Considerations
•
Before calling FTM_OPEN_REQ_, you must have negotiated a service class other
than the file-management service class, as well as the read or write functional unit.
•
To complete this procedure call successfully, the association must be in the
file-selection regime.
•
You must issue an MFM_AWAITIOX_ call to complete the nowait I/O operation if
you set the nowait operating mode in the FTM_INITIALIZE_REQ_ call.
•
The contents-type parameter does not support the specification of abstract
syntax and constraint set (as specified in ISO 8571-3, clause 17.1.2.4). This is
consistent with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Stable
Implementation Agreements for Open Systems Interconnection Protocols, Part 9—
FTAM Phase 2, Section 9.10.2.3.
