MAXARGS
Default: None
Value: Non-negative integer
Object: APPL
This attribute specifies the maximum number of comma-separated parameters that
may be passed in the logon user data. It is valid for all METHOD values.
This attribute is optional. There is no default value; if this attribute is omitted, no
maximum limit on the number of parameters exists.
MESSAGE
Default: None
Value: Character string (case-sensitive)
Object: APPL
This attribute is used only if the METHOD attribute has the value SERVER. It specifies
a message to be sent to the user-supplied server process. This message has no
predefined format; however, the server process must be able to accept and understand
whatever message is sent.
The value you enter for this attribute (including any built-in functions or entry names)
is limited to 80 characters; however, after evaluation of the built-in functions and entry
names, it can be up to 255 characters.
When entering an SCF command, if a message exceeds the length of a line, use the
ampersand (&) to indicate continuation. In the following example, note that the
continuation starts in column 1 on the next line because blanks within the double
quotation marks are not ignored:
ADD APPL $CREA.C-SERVER, METHOD SERVER, &
MESSAGE "This is an example of a long message &
that exceeds the length of one line"
This attribute is optional at configuration; however, it is typically needed to supply the
terminal name and program name to the server process.
METHOD
Default: None
Value: PATHWAY | SERVER | TACL
Object: APPL
This attribute specifies the method of starting the application requested.
