Input Requests

The input processor receives all input records and requests through the CA Common Services, CAICCI - Common Communicators Interface. These requests include the following:

C (Close)

This request is used to ask the Output processor to close all files

D (Data)

The common tape record is built based on the information available at the time of the request

L (Label)

The current record contains a preformatted label image ready to print

S (Spinoff)

This request closes and reopens any dynamically allocated printers

V (Volume)

A volume lookup is performed against the current tape database

The installed tape management system programmatically generates each label request or data record and sends the information to the label processor using the CA Common Services CAICCI - Common Communicators Interface.
