FILE 8994

File of Files Entry
NUMBER: 8994 NAME: REMOTE PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION:  This file is used as a repository of server-based procedures in the context of the Client/Server architecture. By using the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Broker, applications running on client workstations can invoke (call) the procedures in this file to be executed by the server and the results will be returned to the client application.

Each remote procedure entry is associated with an entry point (ROUTINE with optional TAG). Calls to these procedures can include parameters of different value types. The resulting value of the call can be either a string, a list of strings or a word processing string as indicated by the RETURN VALUE TYPE field (.04).

The remote procedure may be available for use by anyone or its use may be restricted to one or more application. The range of availability is indicated by the AVAILABILITY field. IF THERE IS NO ENTRY IN THE AVAILABILITY FIELD, then the procedure is assumed to be PUBLIC.

A remote procedure may be removed from service for a period of time by setting the INACTIVE field. A request for use of a procedure which is marked inactive will result in an error being returned to the originating application.
