Using Support Functions

Responding to Asynchronous Calls

For example, this function could be a batch entry console for ﬁle

management. Several ﬁle transfers could be started without having to

wait for each transfer to complete before starting the next.

map_operation_completed (map_event, map_rc). This

function processes the FTAM events by performing some action on the

results of the FTAM operation that completed. The operation is

identiﬁed by the map_event passed as input. If map_rc equals

SUCCESS, the inout_dcb for the operation contains the outcome of the

operation. Otherwise, the map_rc equals EME032_IPC_ERROR; the

operation fails and the inout_dcb does not contain valid information. The

speciﬁc actions involved with processing a completed FTAM event are

speciﬁc to the particular event, and could be as simple as logging the

results to an output ﬁle.
