RSC/MP 7.2 Programming Manual

Sample Code Overview
HP NonStop Remote Server Call (RSC/MP) Programming Manual—522360-004
F-4
Visual Basic Sample
The sample application and sample servlet are loosely based on RSCTEST and both
allow series of RscWriteRead operations to be run against the echo server.
The Java sample code is delivered as source code and pre-built executable and class
files. It is included with all Windows clients and with certain UNIX clients as indicated in
the “Files Included” table in the UNIX installation section of the Remote Server Call
(RSC/MP) Installation and Configuration Guide. All sample files related to Java are
installed to the java directory within the samples directory within the RSC/MP product
installation directory.
For more information, see the file readme.txt which is installed with the Java sample
code. This file gives an introduction, a list of software requirements, instructions on
running the compiled sample code as delivered and on rebuilding from source, and
other useful notes.
Visual Basic Sample
The RSC/MP Visual Basic (VB) sample code is provided to demonstrate a way to
access the RSC/MP API using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.
The RSC/MP VB sample application is called RscTestVB. It presents a Windows GUI
interface similar to that of RSCTESTW. RscTestVB provides the same functionality as
RSCTESTW in that it performs a series of RscWriteRead operations to the echo
server. Additionally, RscTestVB presents additional controls that allow the user to
exercise a greater number of RSC API functions than are required for the basic
RSCTESTW-type operations; this expanded API coverage provides a means to verify
that the VB declarations file (rsc.bas) contains correct declarations of the API
functions.
RscTestVB is delivered as source code only; executable files are not delivered.
RscTestVB is included with Windows clients only. To examine or build RscTestVB, use
Microsoft Visual Studio 6.
RscTestVB source files are installed to the testvb directory within the samples
directory within the RSC/MP product installation directory. RscTestVB also depends on
the VB declarations file rsc.bas which is installed to the include directory within the
product installation directory.
For more information, see the comment header inside sample file RscTestTop.frm.
The abstract in that header gives configuration requirements for client and host; and an
overview of the organization of the sample code.
For information on programming RSC/MP applications in VB, see “Visual Basic
Applications Considerations” on page 6-1.
Visual Basic .NET Sample
The RSC/MP Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) sample code is provided to demonstrate a
way to access the RSC/MP API using Microsoft VB.NET. It may also be useful in
