Receiving Responses Using ndmapi_recvresp() or ndmapi_recvresp_c()

Use ndmapi_recvresp() or ndmapi_recvresp_c() to receive responses that are associated with a previous command sent from the application. Following is the format for ndmapi_recvresp() or ndmapi_recvresp_c():

int32 ndmapi_recvresp ERROR_H  error int32 *  resp_length, char *   resp_buffer, 
int32 * resp_moreflag

Following are the parameters for ndmapi_recvresp() or ndmapi_recvresp_c():

Parameter Description Value
error A pointer to a IBM® Connect:Direct®-defined structure that contains error information or status information. Pointer
resp_length A pointer to the length, in bytes, of the application buffer to receive the response. The API sets this parameter to the number of bytes returned. Pointer to number of bytes returned or 0 if you no longer want to receive responses. Setting this field to zero purges all queued responses.
resp_buffer A pointer to the application buffer that receives the command or submit response. This buffer should allocate 4096 bytes.

The format of resp_buffer is a free-form text record structure. Field names are four characters long and all uppercase. The data can be any length and can include blanks. The structure is:

field name=data | field name=data |...

For example:

SUBM = username | PNUM = 12 | PNAM = proc1 |...

A local buffer, with a size greater than or equal to that set by resp_length and filled in by ndmapi_recvresp() or ndmapi_recvresp_c().

The CLI passes the resp_buffer to AWK for parsing. Valid values include:

resp_moreflag Indicates that more ndmapi_recvresp() or ndmapi_recvresp_c() calls must be issued for more information. This flag occurs only on select process and select statistics commands. None

The ndmapi_recvresp() or ndmapi_recvresp_c() function has the folliowing return codes:

Return Code Description
NDM_NO_ERROR

The function completed successfully.

NDM_ERROR

An error occurred. Consult the error structure for detailed error status.

TRUNCATED

Data is truncated because the receiving buffer is too small.

Following is a sample ndmapi_recvresp() function:

int32 rc, resp_length;
int32 resp_moreflag;
char resp_buffer[makbuf];

rc= ndmapi_recvresp (error,
                  	&resp_length,                    
									resp_buffer,                   
									&resp_moreflag                  
									);
