Set_Sync_Level

The Set_Sync_Level call (function name cmssl) is issued by the invoking program to specify the synchronization level of the conversation. The synchronization level determines whether the programs synchronize their processing through the Confirm and Confirmed calls.

This call overrides the synchronization level established by the Initialize_Conversation call. The default synchronization level is CM_NONE, indicating no synchronization. This call cannot be issued after the Allocate call has been issued.

CM_ENTRY Set_Sync_Level(
  unsigned char FAR *conversation_ID,  
  CM_INT32 FAR *sync_level,            
  CM_INT32 FAR *return_code            
);
 

Parameters

conversation_ID

Supplied parameter. Specifies the identifier for the conversation. The value of this parameter was returned by Initialize_Conversation.

sync_level

Supplied parameter. Specifies the synchronization level of the conversation. Possible values are:

CM_NONE

The programs will not perform confirmation processing.

CM_CONFIRM

return_code

The code returned from this call. The valid return codes are listed below.

Return Codes

cm_ok

Primary return code; the call executed successfully.

cm_program_state_check

Primary return code; the conversation is not in INITIALIZE state.

cm_program_parameter_check

Primary return code; one of the following occurred:

• The value specified by conversation_ID or sync_level is invalid.
• The sync_level parameter specifies CM_NONE but one of the following has occurred: the send_type parameter is set to CM_SEND_AND_CONFIRM, or the prepare_to_receive_type parameter is set to CM_PREP_TO_RECEIVE_CONFIRM, or the deallocate_type is set to CM_DEALLOCATE_CONFIRM.

cm_product_specific_error

Primary return code; a product-specific error occurred and has been logged in the product's error log.

State Changes

The conversation must be in INITIALIZE state.

There is no state change.
