Sending a Command to Sterling Connect:Direct Using ndmapi_sendcmd() or ndmapi_sendcmd_c()

Use ndmapi_sendcmd() or ndmapi_sendcmd_c() to allow a command to be sent to a Sterling Connect:Direct application. Following is the format of ndmapi_sendcmd() or ndmapi_sendcmd_c():

int32 rc, resp_moreflag; struct sendcmd_data ret_data; rc=ndmapi_sendcmd (error,

"select process pnumber=2,", &resp_moreflag,

&ret_data );

Following are the parameters for ndmapi_sendcmd() or ndmapi_sendcmd_c():

Parameter	Description	Value
error	A pointer to a Sterling Connect:Direct-defined structure	Pointer
	that contains error information or status information.
cmd_text	A pointer to the null-terminated text string that specifies	Pointer to a text
	the command to send to Sterling Connect:Direct. The	string
	command text must be followed by a semicolon and
	terminated with a null.
	When you use the submit=filename command from the
	API, ensure that you allocate enough storage for the
	Process text. The text of the Process submitted is
	returned in the text string associated with this parameter
	when the function completes. If you do not allocate
	enough storage for the Process text, a core dump can
	result.
resp_moreflag	A pointer to the flag that indicates that more responses	Pointer to a flag
	are pending for the command just executed. Invoke
	ndmapi_recvresp() or ndmapi_recvresp_c() to retrieve
	the extra responses.
ret_data	A pointer to a structure containing internal response	Pointer to a
	information for a command. The structure is:	structure
	struct sendcmd_data {
	char * cmd_name;
	ulong cmd_id;
	long data1;
	long data2;
	long data3;
	};
sendcmd_data	Provides the caller with some information about the user	Information
	request. Because parsing of command text occurs at the	about the user
	CMGR, the End User Application (EUA) has no way to	request
	identify the command that was submitted, unless it
	generated the text.
cmd_name	A pointer to a string with the name of the command	Pointer to name
	submitted. The CLI uses this pointer to display	of command
	completion messages. This field enables you to display
	unique completion messages without any knowledge of
	a specific command in the EUA.
