APPC Conversation Verbs
MC_SEND_CONVERSATION and SEND_CONVERSATION
This parameter is an 8-byte ASCII character string, padded on the right with ASCII blanks (0x20) if the
alias is shorter than eight characters. It can consist of any of the following characters:
• Uppercase letters
• Numerals 0–9
• Blanks
• Special characters $, #, %, and @
The first character of this string cannot be a blank.
To identify the LU by its LU name instead of its LU alias, set this parameter to 8 binary zeros, and specify
the LU name in the
fqplu_name parameter.
mode_name
Name of a set of networking characteristics defined during configuration.
The value of mode_name must match the name of a mode associated with the partner LU during configuration.
This parameter is an 8-byte EBCDIC character string. It can consist of characters from the type-A EBCDIC
character set. These characters are as follows:
• Uppercase letters
• Numerals 0–9
• Special characters $, #, and @
The first character in the string must be an uppercase letter or special character. If the mode name is fewer
than eight characters long, pad it on the right with EBCDIC blanks (0x40).
A mode name can also be all EBCDIC blanks (0x40).
In a mapped conversation, the name cannot be SNASVCMG (a reserved mode name used internally by
APPC). Using this name in a basic conversation is not recommended.
tp_name
Name of the invoked TP.
The value of tp_name specified by the [MC_]ALLOCATE verb in the invoking TP must match the value of
tp_name specified by the RECEIVE_ALLOCATE verb in the invoked TP.
This parameter is a 64-byte EBCDIC character string; it is case-sensitive. The tp_name parameter normally
consists of characters from the type-AE EBCDIC character set (except when naming a service TP). These
characters are as follows:
• Uppercase and lowercase letters
• Numerals 0–9
• Special characters $, #, @, and period (.)
If the TP name is fewer than 64 bytes, use EBCDIC blanks (0x40) to pad it on the right.
The SNA convention for naming a service TP is an exception to the above; the name consists of up to four
characters, of which the first character is a hexadecimal byte between 0x00 and 0x3F. The other characters
are from the EBCDIC AE character set.
security
Specifies the information the partner LU requires in order to validate access to the invoked TP.
Based on the conversation security established for the invoked TP during configuration, use one of the
following values:
AP_NONE
