Appendix E: Sample RPC Application for IMS TM (Implicit)

This appendix contains a sample mainframe server application program that runs in implicit mode under IMS TM and processes a series of client RPCs from the Open Client program SYM1. The PL/1 program listed here is included on the Open ServerConnect API tape.

The purpose of this sample program is to demonstrate the use of Gateway-Library functions in IMS TM programs, particularly those designed to handle remote procedure calls from a client. In some cases, one Gateway-Library function is used for demonstration purposes when another function would be more efficient. In order to best illustrate the flow of processing, the program does not do extensive error checking.

This sample program is provided as part of the Open ServerConnect package.
