CPI-C Reference

Chapter 3. Program-to-Program Communication Example Flows

This chapter provides example flows of how two programs using CPI Communications can exchange information and data in a controlled manner.

The examples are divided into these sections:

• "Starter-Set Flows"
• "Controlling Data Flow Direction"
• "Verifying Receipt of Data"
• "Reporting Errors to Partner"
• "Using Full-Duplex Conversations"
• "Using Queue-Level Non-Blocking"
• "Accepting Multiple Conversations"
• "Using the Distributed Directory"
• "Resource Recovery Flows"

In addition to these sample flows, a simple COBOL application using CPI Communications calls is provided on the diskette that came with this manual.
