SERVICE Statement
Pathmaker Application Definition Language (PMADL)
2–52 067869 Tandem Computers Incorporated
REPLY name
Specifies the name of a reply message element of the service. A service can define
multiple reply message elements, in the order of the reply elements in the message
returned by the service.
The name specifies the local name of the reply element, as defined in the service.
The name must be unique among the local names of all reply elements and logical
files defined in the service. This name designates the object if a copy-of name is
not supplied.
COPY OF name
Specifies the name of a DDL definition or record object or an SQL table object
that defines the structure of the reply element. The object must be defined or
registered in the current Pathmaker catalog.
Logical Files Clause The following paragraphs give the term definitions for the logical file clause of the
service statement.
LOGICAL-FILE name
Specifies the name of a logical file to be accessed by the service. A service can
define multiple logical files, in any order.
The name specifies the local name of the logical file, as defined in the service. The
name must be unique among the local names of all request and reply message
elements and all logical files defined in the service. This name designates the
object if a copy-of name is not supplied.
This clause is not significant for TYPE REG services, except that it causes a
SERVER ASSIGN or SERVER DEFINE attribute to be included in server classes
defined by servers that contain the service.
COPY-OF name
Specifies the name of a DDL record object or an SQL table object that defines
the physical structure of the logical file.
OPEN-MODE

if the logical file designates an SQL table. The modes are:
