FTSCPROC

FTSCPROC is an NCL procedure that is executed when a terminating transmission attempts to issue a command. The same NCL procedure is invoked for incoming and outgoing transmissions.

When FTSCPROC is invoked, it is passed information about the terminating transmission and the command to execute. This information is passed in seven parameters and is available in NCL variables &1 to &7.

The contents of these variables differs slightly for incoming and outgoing transmissions:

For incoming transmissions:

&1

The command (maximum 40 characters)

&2

Set to R to show that the transmission has just been received (incoming)

&3

The remote requestor's user ID

&4

The name of the transmission

&5

Type of the transmission, system (S) or private (P)

&6

The name of the originating system

&7

The originating system type (H for host)
For outgoing transmissions:

&1

The command (maximum 40 characters)

&2

Set to T to show that the terminating transmission was just transmitted (outgoing)

&3

The requestor's user ID

&4

The name of the transmission

&5

Type of the transmission, system (S) or private (P)

&6

The name of the destination system

&7

The destination system type (H for host)

Using this information, your FTSCPROC can issue the command, issue a different command, or suppress the command.

FTSCPROC gives you flexibility in controlling commands issued by CA SOLVE:FTS. An example of a possible implementation is ensuring that transmissions from a particular host (perhaps one that is not part of your organization) can issue only a restricted set of commands.

Note: A sample FTSCPROC, named $FTCPROC, is included in the installation library.
