of a TCP/IP Connection Spec.
Use the Destination tab to specify the
information necessary to access a TCP/IP host.

- In the Hostname field, type the symbolic name of the host where
the remote function you want to access resides. You can specify the
numeric IP address of the host instead of a symbolic name.

server program you want to connect to.
Use the Data Attributes. tab to
specify program initialization parameters and data handling options for a
conversation:
- Code page
- In the Code page field, type the character code page used by
the remote system. The default code page is whatever the current code
page is for the system you are developing your application on.
- Buffer length
- In the Buffer length field, type the size of the memory buffer
VisualAge should allocate for the data sent to and received from the
server. For a remote external function call, the buffer size must be at
least as large as the total size of the record used by the function.
The default value for this field is 1024.
- Big endian
- Select Big endian to specify you want the partner to use the
bigEndian format. If you do not select Big endian, the
partner uses littleEndian format.
