Verb Definitions
This section describes the request and reply formats for the SNAX/APC verbs (UOWs).
The verbs are presented in the following groups:
•
Control verbs—intended for use by control-operator TPs, that is, programs that
assist the control operator in performing functions related to the control of an LU.
•
Basic conversation verbs—intended for use by LU services programs. The LU
services programs can provide end-user services or protocol boundaries for end-user
application transaction programs.
•
Mapped conversation verbs—intended for use by application transaction programs.
These verbs provide functions that are suitable for application programs that are
written in high-level programming languages.
•
Type-independent verbs—intended for use with both mapped and basic
conversations. These verbs provide functions that span both conversation types.
•
Verbs specific to Tandem products—created exclusively for the use of SNAX/APC.
There is no functional equivalent in the IBM option sets.
