TRANSFER Reference Manual

2 TISERV UOW Descriptions
069139, Update 1 to 40969 Tandem Computers Incorporated 2–1
Overview This section describes the available TISERV units-of-work (UOWs). The description of
each UOW includes the following elements:
The DDL format and syntax of the request UOW and its corresponding response
UOW. (The letters -rsp in the name of each response UOW stand for response.)
The content, function, and constraints of the individual fields transmitted within
or returned by the UOW.
The operations performed by TISERV in response to the UOW.
Information transmitted to TISERV by a UOW is moved into the individual fields of
the UOW by your program. Information returned in a UOW response is entered in the
individual fields of the response by TISERV.
Filler fields are defined for certain UOWs. These fields align fields on word
boundaries in memory or allow space for the expansion of data in a field.
You can modify array limits in standard DDL definitions that contain variable length
arrays. You can have multiple definitions with different array limits for the same
UOW as long as the symbolic names for the UOW are unique.
IPCs should be issued within the framework of TMF transactions. Some UOWs,
however, do not change the TRANSFER database and do not require a TMF
transaction to be in effect. You do not need to start a TMF transaction before issuing
the IPC if your IPC consists solely of one or more of the following UOWs:
