Table | Oracle Tuxedo Terminology |
Term | Definition |
|
|
STRING | A buffer of character data that is |
| terminated by the first null character in the |
| buffer. Typically, character string buffers |
| undergo translation when sent to a system |
| that is different from the sending system. |
|
|
CARRAY | A CARRAY is a buffer of raw data that |
| contains no terminating character and that |
| undergoes no conversion or translation; |
| the data is sent from one system to another |
| without modification. A CARRAY is an |
| exemplary buffer type for a graphics file. |
|
|
VIEW | A VIEW buffer is a collection of field |
| definitions that can be treated as a single |
| entity. It is comparable to a record layout |
| in COBOL or a structure in C. |
|
|
FML | FML (Fielded Manipulation Language) |
| buffers are variable length, dynamic, |
| |
| buffer has its own descriptive header. In |
| Oracle Tuxedo, FML buffers can be tied |
| closely to VIEW buffers so that conversion |
| from one to the other is direct. |
