Procedure Calls

Figure 3-1 shows the syntax notation used to describe procedure calls in this manual.

The syntax of the call is shown in a box. Below the box, a description of each parameter

is given.

The notation gives the syntax for calling the procedures from C programs. For

information about using the C language, refer to the C Reference Manual.

You can also call these procedures from TAL programs as long as the main program is

written in C. For a summary of the P7 API procedure calls for the TAL language, refer

to Appendix D. For additional information on using the TAL language, refer to the

Transaction Application Language (TAL) Reference Manual.

LOS_DT_FINISH_SEND_ Checks for the success or failure of a previously issued

LOS_DT_SEND_ procedure.

RESULT

application.

LOS_DT_SEND_ Binds the client application to an MS group, sends data to

Note. The condition code, a hardware register that can be set by the software, is not

meaningful after a call to a P7 API procedure.
