APPCCMD CONTROL=SENDEXPD, QUALIFY=DATA

z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programmer's LU 6.2 Reference
SC27-3670-00

Purpose

This macroinstruction sends expedited data to a partner LU over a full-duplex or a half-duplex conversation established on a full-duplex-capable session. If the session is not full-duplex capable, an RCPRI, RCSEC combination of X'00A0', X'0001', REQUEST_NOT_ALLOWED—LU_PAIR_DOES_NOT_SUPPORT_ SENDING_EXPEDITED_DATA is returned to the application.

Usage

The amount of expedited data specified by the application should be in the range of 1–86 bytes. If the length of the expedited data is outside of this range, an RCRPI, RCSEC combination of X'002C', X'002C', PARAMETER_ERROR—INVALID_EXPEDITED_DATA_LENGTH is returned to the application.

This macroinstruction will be posted complete immediately without waiting for a response from the partner LU. A response will not be sent by the partner until the expedited data has been received by the partner application.

If the conversation ends before the macroinstruction has a chance to process, RCRPI, RCSEC combination of X'0000', X'0009', REQUEST_TERMINATED_BY_END_OF_CONVERSATION is returned to the application.

If this macroinstruction is issued while another APPCCMD CONTROL=SENDEXPD macroinstruction or an APPCCMD CONTROL=SEND, QUALIFY=RQSEND macroinstruction is currently outstanding for the specified conversation, an RCRPI, RCSEC combination of X'002C', X'0011', PARAMETER_ERROR—PREVIOUS_MACROINSTRUCTION_OUTSTANDING is returned to the application.

If the EXPEDITED SEND queue has been prohibited, then an RCRPI, RCSEC combination of X'00A0', X'0002', REQUEST_NOT_ALLOWED—REQUEST_BLOCKED, is returned to the application.

An RCRPI, RCSEC combination of X'0050', X'0000', STATE_ERROR, will be returned when the macroinstruction is issued in PENDING_DEALLOCATE state.

If the macroinstruction is issued and the response to a previously issued SENDEXPD request has not been received, then an RCPRI, RCSEC combination of X'00A0', X'0005', REQUEST_NOT_ALLOWED— RSP_HAS_NOT_BEEN_RECEIVED_ FOR_A_PREVIOUS_SENDEXPD_REQUEST is returned to the application.

This macroinstruction will always cause a flow.

This macroinstruction corresponds to the SEND_EXPEDITED_DATA verb described in the LU 6.2 architecture.

Context

For half-duplex conversations, this macroinstruction can be issued from the following conversation states:
  • SEND
  • RECEIVE
  • RECEIVE_CONFIRM
  • RECEIVE_CONFIRM_SEND
  • RECEIVE_CONFIRM_DEALLOCATE
  • PENDING_END_CONV_LOG
  • PENDING_SEND
  • PENDING_RECEIVE_LOG
For full-duplex conversation, this macroinstruction can be issued form the following conversations states:
  • SEND/RECEIVE
  • SEND_ONLY
  • RECEIVE_ONLY
  • PENDING_SEND/RECEIVE_LOG
  • PENDING_RECEIVE-ONLY_LOG
  • PENDING_RESET_LOG

This macroinstruction is not allowed for conversations pending deallocation for persistent LU-LU sessions.

Input parameters

The following information shows descriptions of the input parameters:
AAREA=rpl_extension_address_field
AAREA=(rpl_extension_address_register)
Specifies the address of the LU 6.2 RPL extension that will be associated with this APPCCMD macroinstruction. This field is labeled RPLAAREA in the RPL.
ACB=acb_address_field
ACB=(acb_address_register)
Specifies the address of an access method control block that identifies the application program that is issuing the APPCCMD macroinstruction. VTAM® associates conversations with application programs using the conversation ID (CONVID). The application program associates conversations with transaction programs. Application programs cannot issue APPCCMD macroinstructions in address spaces other than the ACB address space. This field is labeled RPLDACB in the RPL.
AREA=data_area_or_buffer_list_address_field
AREA=(data_area_or_buffer_list_address_register)
Specifies the address of a data buffer or buffer list. If OPTCD=NBUFFLST, AREA specifies the address of a data area containing the data to be sent. If OPTCD=BUFFLST, AREA specifies the address of a buffer list that in turn points to the data to be sent. This field is labeled RPLAREA in the RPL.
BRANCH
Specifies whether authorized path processing is to be used for application programs running in supervisor state under a TCB. Application programs running in TCB-mode supervisor state can use BRANCH=YES to obtain authorized path services. The indicator resides within the RPLEXTDS field of the RPL.
BRANCH=NO
Authorized path processing is not to be used. For application programs running in problem state (non-supervisor state) under a TCB, BRANCH=NO is the only option.
BRANCH=YES
Authorized path processing is to be used. For application programs running under an SRB rather than under a TCB, the macroinstruction is processed in this manner automatically, regardless of the actual setting of the BRANCH field.
CONMODE
Specifies the mode for receiving normal information upon completion of the APPCCMD. This field is labeled RPL6CMOD in the RPL extension.
CONMODE=BUFFCA
Specifies that the conversation is to be placed in buffer-continue-any mode. It indicates that APPCCMD CONTROL=RECEIVE, QUALIFY=ANY|IANY can be used to receive data and that the application program is to receive data independently of the logical-record format of the data. BUFFCA corresponds to FILL=BUFFER on the APPCCMD CONTROL=RECEIVE, QUALIFY=SPEC|ISPEC macroinstruction.
CONMODE=CS
Specifies that the conversation is to be placed in continue-specific mode. It indicates that only APPCCMD CONTROL=RECEIVE, QUALIFY=SPEC|ISPEC can be used to receive data on this conversation. When the application program issues APPCCMD CONTROL=RECEIVE, QUALIFY=SPEC|ISPEC, it must indicate whether the data is to be received in terms of the logical-record format of the data or independently of the logical-record format of the data.
CONMODE=LLCA
Specifies that the conversation is to be placed in logical-record-continue-any mode. It indicates that APPCCMD CONTROL=RECEIVE, QUALIFY=ANY|IANY can be used to receive data on this conversation and that the application program is to receive data in terms of the logical-record format of the data. LLCA corresponds to FILL=LL on the APPCCMD CONTROL=RECEIVE, QUALIFY=SPEC|ISPEC macroinstruction.
CONMODE=SAME
Specifies that the continuation mode of the conversation is to remain unchanged.
CONVID=32-bit_resource_id_field
CONVID=(32-bit_resource_id_register)
Specifies the resource ID of the conversation. This field is labeled RPL6CNVD in the RPL extension.
CONXMOD
Specifies the mode for receiving expedited information upon completion of the APPCCMD. This field is labeled RPL6CXMD in the RPL extension.
CONXMOD=CA
Specifies that the mode for expedited information is to be put in such a state that expedited information can be received by either a specific-type macroinstruction or an any-type macroinstruction, such as, APPCCMD CONTROL=RCVEXPD, QUALIFY=SPEC|ISPEC or APPCCMD CONTROL=RCVEXPD, QUALIFY=ANY|IANY.
CONXMOD=CS
Specifies that the mode for expedited information is to be put in such a state that expedited information can be received only by a specific-type macroinstruction, such as, APPCCMD CONTROL=RCVEXPD, QUALIFY=SPEC or ISPEC.
CONXMOD=SAME
Specifies that the conversation mode for expedited information is to remain unchanged at the completion of this macroinstruction.
ECB
Valid only if OPTCD=ASY. Specifies how the application program requests to be informed of the completion of the APPCCMD macroinstruction. You cannot specify both ECB and EXIT on a single APPCCMD macroinstruction. The indicator resides within the RPLOPT1 field of the RPL.
ECB=INTERNAL
Specifies that VTAM is to post an internal ECB when the APPPCCMD macroinstruction completes.
ECB=ecb_address_field
ECB=(ecb_address_register)
Specifies that VTAM is to post an event control block (ECB) when an asynchronous APPCCMD completes. Event_control_block_address is the location of the ECB to be posted. The ECB can be any fullword of storage aligned on a fullword boundary.
EXIT=exit_routine_address_field
EXIT=(exit_routine_address_register)
Valid only if OPTCD=ASY. It indicates the address of a routine to be scheduled when the APPCCMD completes. You cannot specify both ECB and EXIT on a single APPCCMD macroinstruction. The indicator resides within the RPLEXTDS field of the RPL.
OPTCD
Specifies the following processing options that can be selected for the macroinstruction request:
OPTCD=SYN
Specifies that control is to be returned synchronously to the application program when the function of the APPCCMD has completed. The indicator resides within the RPLOPT1 field of the RPL.
OPTCD=ASY
Specifies that control is to be returned to the application program immediately and that the application program is to be informed later of the completion of the macroinstruction by the posting of an ECB or the scheduling of an exit. The indicator resides within the RPLOPT1 field of the RPL.
When the application program regains control after issuing an APPCCMD asynchronously, it is prevented from issuing another APPCCMD against the same conversation resource that processes on the EXPEDITED SEND queue until the command has completed. The application can issue APPCCMDs against the same conversation resource that processes on the SEND/RECEIVE if the conversation is half-duplex, or the SEND and RECEIVE queues if the conversation is full-duplex, and the EXPEDITED RECEIVE and TESTSTAT queues. For more information about conversation queues, refer to z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programmer's LU 6.2 Guide

The application program is allowed to issue APPCCMDs against other conversations. OPTCD=ASY is recommended when issuing this APPCCMD.

OPTCD=KEEPSRB
Specifies that for a synchronous request issued in SRB mode, VTAM returns to the application under the same SRB in which VTAM was invoked. The indicator resides within the RPLOPT11 field of the RPL.
OPTCD=NKEEPSRB
Specifies that for a synchronous request issued in SRB mode, VTAM does not return to the application under the same SRB in which VTAM was invoked. The indicator resides within the RPLOPT11 field of the RPL.
OPTCD=BUFFLST
Specifies that the data supplied by the application program is contained within multiple buffers. This option allows the application program to provide data from discontiguous buffer areas. The indicator resides within the RPLOPT6 field of the RPL.

If OPTCD=BUFFLST is chosen, the AREA field of the RPL points to a buffer list that is a contiguous set of 16-byte control blocks, called buffer list entries. (Refer to z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programmer's LU 6.2 Guide for a detailed description of these buffer list entries.) The RECLEN field of the RPL specifies a buffer list length that is a nonzero multiple of 16 bytes. RU boundaries are independent of the buffer boundaries. VTAM creates RUs based upon the maximum SEND RU size regardless of whether the data is taken from one buffer, part of a buffer, or multiple buffers. Logical records are also independent of the buffer boundaries.

OPTCD=NBUFFLST
Specifies that the data supplied by the application program is contained within a single buffer area. The AREA field specifies the address of the buffer and the RECLEN field specifies the length of the buffer. The indicator resides within the RPLOPT6 field of the RPL.
RECLEN=data_length
RECLEN=(data_length_register)
Specifies the length of the data to be sent or the length of the buffer list containing the data to be sent. This field is labeled RPLRLEN in the RPL.
  • If OPTCD=NBUFFLST, RECLEN specifies the number of bytes of data to be sent from the buffer area specified by AREA.
  • If OPTCD=BUFFLST, RECLEN specifies the length of the buffer list that in turn points to the data to be sent. The RECLEN specifies a buffer list length that is a nonzero multiple of 16 bytes. (Buffer list entries consist of 16 bytes.)
RPL=rpl_address_field
RPL=(rpl_address_register)
Specifies the address of the request parameter list that contains information to be used during the processing of the APPCCMD macroinstruction.

X'00010001' indicates a REQUEST_TO_SEND notification has been received from the remote application program.

SIGRCV
The field in the RPL extension that returns an indication of whether an application program's partner has requested permission to send. This field is labeled RPL6RSIG in the RPL extension. This field and the SIGDATA field correspond to the REQUEST_TO_SEND_RECEIVED parameter described in the LU 6.2 architecture. The indication is either YES or NO (RPL6RSIG bit set on or off).
YES (B'1')
A SIGNAL RU has been received from the partner LU. The values carried in the signal code and signal extension fields of the SIGNAL RU are returned to the application program in the SIGDATA field.
NO (B'0')
No SIGNAL RU has been received from the partner LU. When SIGRCV=NO, the SIGDATA field contains no meaningful information.
USERFLD
Specifies 4 bytes of user data that the application program requests be associated with a conversation. Whenever an APPCCMD completes, VTAM places in the USERFLD field of the RPL extension the 4 bytes that were supplied on the APPCCMD CONTROL=ALLOC macroinstruction (if the conversation was initiated by the local application program) or the APPCCMD CONTROL=RCVFMH5 macroinstruction (if the conversation was initiated by the remote application program). This field is labeled RPL6USR in the RPL extension.

State changes

No state changes are associated with this macroinstruction.
