Subsystem

Naming Rules and Guidelines for Applications
TAL programmers should always source in the entire definition file, and TACL always
loads the entire definition file. For further information on how definition files are
accessed by an application, see the SPI Programming Manual.
An application that communicates with the X25AM subsystem needs the following
definition files in the appropriate programming language:
1. The SPI definition file.
2. The EMS definition file (needed only if the application retrieves event messages or
controls EMS).
3. The data communications definition file.
4. The X25AM definition file.
If the application also communicates with other subsystems, the definition files for
those other subsystems must also be used.
For example, an X25AM application written in COBOL85 that retrieves event
messages would need the following definition files:
These files are located on the disk volume chosen by your site. The default disk
volume used by the INSTALL program is $SYSTEM.
For further information about the SPI definitions, EMS definitions, and data
communications definitions, see the SPI Programming Manual, the EMS Manual, and
the SPI Common Extensions Manual, respectively. The X25AM definitions are
described in this manual.
Naming Rules and Guidelines for Applications
By convention, HP uses names beginning with the letter Z for all definitions and all
component fields of structures in its definition files. To avoid present and future
conflicts with names defined by HP, it is best not to begin any of your own names
(names you define in your applications) with uppercase or lowercase Z.
Common Syntax Elements for the X25AM
Subsystem
The rest of this section contains subsystem-specific information about elements of
commands, responses, and event messages. For more complete information about
these elements, see the SPI Common Extensions Manual.
