Set_CPIC_Side_Information

The Set_CPIC_Side_Information call (function name xcmssi) adds or replaces a side information entry in memory. A CPI-C side information entry associates a set of conversation characteristics with a symbolic definition name. This call overrides entries having the same symbolic destination name.

CM_ENTRY Set_CPIC_Side_Information(
  unsigned char FAR *key_lock,           
  SIDE_INFO FAR *side_info_entry,        
  CM_INT32 FAR *side_info_entry_length,  
  CM_INT32 FAR *return_code              
);
 

Parameters

key_lock
Supplied parameter. This parameter is ignored.
side_info_entry
Supplied parameter. Specifies the contents of a side information entry. The following table describes the side_info_entry structure, which defines the format of the side information entry:
Offset Description Type Length
0 sym_dest_name unsigned char 8 bytes
8 partner_LU_name unsigned char 17 bytes
25 reserved unsigned char 3 bytes
28 TP_name_type signed long int 32 bits
32 TP_name unsigned char 64 bytes
96 mode_name unsigned char 8 bytes
104 conversation_
security_type
signed long int 32 bits
108 security_user_ID unsigned char 8 bytes
116 security_password unsigned char 8 bytes

The allowed characters for sym_dest_name are the uppercase letters (A through Z) and the numerals 0 through 9.

Set_CPIC_Side_Information is the only CPI-C call that lets you specify an SNA service TP as the partner program. The SNA convention for naming a service TP is up to four characters. The first character is a hexadecimal byte between 0x00 and 0x3F. The remaining characters are translated from ASCII to EBCDIC.

For the allowed characters for the other fields, see the description of the corresponding Set_ call. For example, for the mode_name field, see the description of the Set_Mode_Name call.

Each field in the structure must be left-aligned. Pad fields on the right with spaces as necessary.

side_info_entry_length
Supplied parameter. Specifies the length of side_info_entry. It is always 124.
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_parameter_check
Primary return code; one of the following occurred:
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 can be in any state.

There is no state change.

Remarks

Invalid string parameters in the side information (for example, specifying a nonexistent partner LU) are not detected until Allocate is issued. The error is returned on a call following Allocate.
