|
||
|
|
You can define, create, distribute, and maintain your own product
|
||
|
|
using APIs. These examples demonstrate how you can use the APIs
|
||
|
|
to package a product similar to the way IBM<sup>®</sup> packages products.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="ExTaskRetfile.htm">Examples: Retrieving a file description to a user space</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
These programming examples show an application that uses a user space as a receiver variable by retrieving a file description to a user space. This approach is possible only if you use an HLL that is able to work with pointers.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="ExTaskDataque.htm">Examples: Using data queues or user queues</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Data queues and user queues both provide a means for one or more processes to communicate asynchronously. The queues can be processed FIFO (first-in first-out), LIFO (last-in first-out), or by key.</li>
