4.4 acmsdi_bind_msg
The client application can call this service when acmsdi_poll returns ACMSDI_
TDMS_READ_EXCH (a TDMS Read exchange) or ACMSDI_TDMS_WRITE_
EXCH (a TDMS Write exchange) from the TP Desktop Connector gateway on
the host OpenVMS system. It performs one of the following functions:
acquires the prompt text, if any, associated with a TDMS Read exchange
sends the message text associated with a TDMS Read exchange.
acquires the message text associated with a TDMS Write exchange.
If the prompt or message text is being acquired, the text is truncated when
the buffer supplied is not large enough to hold the entire text. If the buffer is
larger than the text being acquired, the text is left-justified in the buffer and
right-filled with blank characters.
This is an optional call, that is, you are not required to issue this call.
However, if you do not issue this call you will not be able to process arguments
received from the server or to send arguments back to the server.
