Client application processing

RSP3C uses both input and output data pipes in STD format to transmit data to and from the client application. It includes a sample of the ISQL you might use to call it.

You can use STD format input and output pipes to transmit data when you have mirror applications on the host and on the LAN. If both programs contain the same data definitions, or if only one column is returned, the additional data structure information that would come from a SQLDA definition is not needed.

The statement that can invoke RSP3C from the client application is shown in the next subsection, followed by the results echoed back to the client application. RSP3C requires at least one data record. This program reads standard input records of up to 55 characters in length. It allows any number of rows to be sent and returned.
