CMECT — Extract_Conversation_Type


CMECT (conversation_ID, conversation_type, return_code)
      [LOGGING log_byte]

Where

conversation_ID (character input) specifies the conversation identifier of the desired conversation.

conversation_type (numeric output) specifies the conversation type that is returned to the local program. The conversation_type can be one of the following:

CM_BASIC_CONVERSATION
CM_MAPPED_CONVERSATION

return_code (numeric output) specifies the result of the statement execution.

log_byte is a 1-byte string constant or a string expression that specifies a byte of user data to be associated with this CPI-C statement during logging. The log_byte remains active until another CPI-C statement is issued. Only the first character or first two hexadecimal digits of the string expression are used. The default log_byte is X'00'.

Function

A program uses the CMECT statement to simulate the CPI-C CMECT call, which is used to extract the conversation_type characteristic's value for a given conversation. The value is returned in the conversation_type parameter.

For more information on CMECT and its parameters, refer to the Extract_Conversation_Type (CMECT) call description in the “Call Reference” chapter of Systems Application Architecture Common Programming Interface Communications Reference.
