The g32_fxfer function allows a file transfer to take place within an API program without the API program having to invoke a g32_close and relinquish the link. The file transfer is run in a programmatic fashion, meaning the user must set up the flag options, the source file name, and the destination file name using either the programmatic fxfer fxc structure for C and Pascal or the numerous variables for FORTRAN. The g32_fxfer function will detach from the session without terminating it, run the specified file transfer, and then reattach to the session.
If a g32_alloc function has been issued before invoking the g32_fxfer command, be sure that the corresponding g32_dealloc function is incorporated into the program before the g32_fxfer function is called.
The status of the file transfer can be checked by using the cfxfer file-transfer status check function after the g32_fxfer function has been invoked.
HCON application programs using the Pascal language interface must include and link both the C and Pascal libraries. Application programs using the FORTRAN language for the HCON API must include and link both the C and FORTRAN libraries.
The g32_fxfer function is part of the Host Connection Program (HCON).
The g32_fxfer function requires one or more adapters used to connect to a host.
This function requires that the Host-Supported File Transfer Program (IND$FILE or its equivalent) be installed on the host.
as | Specifies a pointer to the g32_api structure. Status is returned in this structure. |
xfer | Specifies a pointer to the fxc structure defined in the fxfer.h file. |
as | Specifies a record of type g32_api. |
xfer | Specifies a record of type fxc within the fxfer.inc file. |
SRCF = 'rtfile'//CHAR(0)
