Communications/Transactions Guide and Reference
To set up a TCP/IP socket, first open the settings for the Proc Dialog
part, then fill in the following fields on the Destination
Information page of the notebook:
- Host name
- The symbolic name of the host where the remote function you want to access
resides. If you prefer, you can specify the numeric IP address of the
host instead of a symbolic name.
- Port number
- The port number used by the server program you want to connect to.
On the Data Attributes page:
- Code page
- The character code page used by the remote system. The default code
page is the current code page for the system.
- Buffer length
- The size of the memory buffer VisualAge should allocate for the data sent
to and received from the server. For a proc dialog, the buffer size
must be at least as large as the total size of the record used by the remote
program logic.
The default value for this field is 1024.
- Big endian
- A check box that determines the byte order for integers sent to the
partner. If checked, the partner uses a BigEndian format;
otherwise, the partner uses LittleEndian format.
