5. X/Open-compliant Application Programming Interface

This chapter explains what facilities are available when the X/Open-compliant application programming interface (XATMI or TX) is used with OpenTP1 application programs.

The facilities are explained using C-language function names. For each function, the name of the equivalent COBOL-language API function is indicated in brackets [ ] when the function appears first in this chapter. After that, only the C-language function name is written. If the C-language function has no COBOL counterpart API function, brackets are not written.

This chapter contains the following sections:
