Arguments

 

resource
 
A RES_ID structure assigned to the conversation by the interface. This ID was returned by the snalu62_allocate, snalu62_attach_listen, or snalu62_receive_allocate verb. 
 
 

status_vec
 
A pointer to a STATUS_VEC array to receive the completion status information. 
 
 

data
 
A pointer to an unsigned char buffer containing the data that the interface should send.  In mapped conversations, the buffer contains only the data to be sent.  In basic conversations, the buffer contains zero or more logical records.  Each logical record consists of a 2-byte length field followed by a data field.  The high-order bit of this length field indicates whether the logical record is complete or if more of the record follows in the next message. The remaining 15 bits contain the length of the record (including the 2-byte length field). Therefore, the maximum length of the data field is 32,765 bytes and logical-record length values of 0 and 1 are invalid.  The data field is optional, that is, the data field can consist of zero bytes. 
 

length
 
A UINT32 value specifying the length of the data, specified in the data parameter, that the interface should transmit. 
 
 

map_name
 
 
This parameter is a place holder. The functionality represented by this parameter is not implemented.
 
 

user_control_data
 
For mapped conversations only, a UINT8 value specifying whether the data record contains user control data.  A value of TRUE (1)
 indicates that the data record contains user control data. A value of FALSE (0) , the default, indicates that user control data is not present in the data record. 
 
 

ps_control_data
 
A UINT8 value specifying whether the data parameter contains Presentation Services (PS) control data.  A value of TRUE (1)
 indicates that the data should be prefaced with a PS header and that the data is complete. A value of FALSE (0) , the default, indicates that the data is not PS control data.  Only a process having superuser privileges or a user listed in the system group in the etc/group file can set this parameter to TRUE. 

 
PS headers are sent between sync point managers. These headers contain sync point information such as prepare, commit, committed, forget, and backout requests. Although the interface supports conversation with a sync level of sync point, the interface does not generate the sync point data. Therefore, if you wish to use sync point level conversations, you must create your own sync point data and use this parameter to indicate that you are sending sync point data to the partner transaction program.
 
 
 

encrypt
 
 
This parameter is a place holder. The functionality represented by this parameter is not implemented.
 
 

rts_recv
 
A pointer to a UINT8 location to receive a boolean value indicating whether the remote transaction program has requested permission to send data.  A value of TRUE (1)
 indicates the remote program is requesting to send data. A value of FALSE (0)
 indicates the remote program has not requested to send data.
 
 

exp_data_recv
 
 
This parameter is a place holder. The functionality represented by this parameter is not implemented.
 
 

wait_object
 
A pointer to an ASYNC_INFO structure specifying whether the interface should process this verb in a blocking or non-blocking manner. 
 
 
 

Description

 
In basic conversation, the data format consists of logical records. The amount of data in the records is specified independently of data format as defined by the length parameter. That is, the data can consist of the following combinations:

•The beginning of a record. 

•The middle of the record. 

•The end of the record. 

•One or more complete records. 

•One or more complete records, followed by the beginning of a record. 

•The end of a record, followed by one or more complete records. 

•The end of a record, followed by one or more complete records, followed by the beginning of a record. 

•The end of a record, followed by the beginning of a record.
