Considerations for Using the Internet Daemon to Start a TPF Program

The NOLISTEN process model in the Internet daemon is provided to start any TPF application that does not communicate over the Internet.

Interface

A TPF program is started using the swisc_create function.

When the application receives control, the following data is in the entry control block (ECB):

EBW000-003
4 bytes of zeros (X'00').

EBW008-011
1- to 8-character alphanumeric parameter string defined for the application in the IDCF; this parameter string corresponds to the PARM parameter in the ZINET ADD command.

EBW012-021
Server name; this corresponds to the SERVER parameter in the ZINET ADD command.

There are no inheritance properties associated with this model because the TPF program is started as a new ECB rather than a child process.

See TPF Operations for more information about the ZINET ADD command.
