The decode
function must provide the following outputs in its COMMAREA:
- A response code (optionally qualified by a reason code).
If the decode
function returns a response code of URP_OK, processing continues with the
next step.
If the decode function returns any other value, the HTTP
request is rejected. For details of the HTTP server response, see Default status codes and error responses.
- The address and length of the COMMAREA passed to the CICS® application
program. If no application program is called, the COMMAREA is passed unchanged
to the encode function.
It may also provide the following outputs:
- The name of the CICS application program that is to service the request.
If the analyzer supplied a name, the converter can change it, or specify that
no application program should be called.
- An eight byte user token, used to share information between the analyzer
and converter programs. See Sharing data between analyzer and converter programs.
