DFHNORESPONSE container
DFHNORESPONSE is a container of DATATYPE(CHAR) that, in the request phase of a service requester pipeline, indicates that the service provider is not expected to return a response.
The contents of the DFHNORESPONSE container are undefined;
message handlers that need to know if the service provider is expected
to return a response need only determine if the container is present
or not:
- If container DFHNORESPONSE is present, no response is expected.
- If container DFHNORESPONSE is absent, a response is expected.
This information is provided, initially, by the service requester application, based on the protocol used with the service provider. Therefore, you are advised not to delete this container in a message handler (or to create it, if it does not exist), because doing so might disturb the protocol between the endpoints.
Other than in the request phase of a service requester pipeline, the use of this container is not defined.
