Request Records

The Request records are queued to Stack 1 to define the request. They are transferred as a group (using the QUEUES() function) to prevent processing a partial request. Requests span multiple records and have the following format:

• Record 1 defines the request and the requester. All fields are required and separated by blanks. When a field is omitted, it must contain an asterisk (*) as a placeholder. The record has the following fields:
  • REQUEST
  • IMOD ID of the requester
  • The Public stack of the requester to receive the results or * if no acknowledgment is required.
  • Number of stack data records being passed.
  • Request text
• Records 2 through n contain stack data to that the server IMOD processes.
