Standard Verb

Formats

All SNAX/HLS verb requests and responses share a common format, described below.

Request Format All SNAX/HLS verbs begin with a standard request header as follows:

77 VERB-

name-of-request

pic 9(4) comp value

number

name-of-request

-REQUEST.

02 VERB-CODE pic 9(4) comp.

02 SESSION-ID pic 9(4) comp.

The verbs whose names begin with the letters HLS- have two additional standard

fields:

02 COMPLETION-MODE pic X. (I or Q or W)

02 REQUEST-FORMAT pic X value " ".

VERB-CODE

identifies which verb is being issued. In COBOL or SCOBOLX, you should issue

the statement:

MOVE verb-

name-of-request

TO verb-code

OF request-header.

In TAL, you should issue the statement:

STRUCT .rq (request^header);

...

rq.verb^code := verb^

name^of^request

;

SESSION-ID

identifies which session is being referenced. Session ID values are generated by

SNAX/HLS in response to OPEN-SESSION and HLS-ALLOCATE verbs.
