In a forced nonblocking environment, service routines provide a method of
polling that is used to determine the type of message sent from the back-end
server. This message type may then be used to determine the appropriate
action (for example, process the call completion or exchange step). The forced
nonblocking software provides additional routines to access call completion and
exchange step arguments. These session environments are explained in more
depth in Chapter 2 and in Compaq TP Desktop Connector for ACMS Client
Application Programming Guide.
Table 1–5 lists the services and indicates the session environments in which
you can use each call.
