definition, package delivery, and package receipt)
Folder manipulation

Sections 5, 6, and 7 contain an overview of these UOWs. The TRANSFER Reference
Manual contains a complete description and syntax information for each UOW.
Notes on Package Handling When assembling and submitting a package under TISERV, the amount of nesting
allowed can be limited by the amount of stack space available in the server for these
activities. The space available is determined by the MEM option of the RUN
command and the MAXREQUEST, MAXREPLY, and MAXLINKS parameters that are
defined when TISERV is started.
In spite of this constraint, you can construct a very deep item tree by working from the
top down. You would, for example, start with the items at the topmost level, link
these items together, and then proceed to the second level, linking the items at this
level together, and so on.
