Receiving

You can choose whether to process data in small segments or all at once.

Your choice depends upon various factors including:
  • Processing convenience
  • The amount of data that you expect
  • The size of the data area that you can use
  • What you are doing with the data
  • How the back-end application operates
  • Whether you want to handle responses (see Specialized FEPI functions for this feature).

The data is a standard inbound data stream, exactly as is sent to the simulated terminal from z/OS® Communications Server. It is quite possible that there will be occasions on which you will receive no data; for example, when the back-end system needs to set a protocol indicator.
