Compaq AAPVNFGTE manual Matrix of Services and Environments

In a forced nonblocking environment, service routines provide a method of polling that is used to determine the type of message sent from the back-end server. This message type may then be used to determine the appropriate action (for example, process the call completion or exchange step). The forced nonblocking software provides additional routines to access call completion and exchange step arguments. These session environments are explained in more depth in Chapter 2 and in Compaq TP Desktop Connector for ACMS Client Application Programming Guide.

Table 1–5 lists the services and indicates the session environments in which you can use each call.
