RSPCONFIRM (Respond Confirm) keyword for ICF files

Use this file- or record-level keyword to send a positive response to a received confirm request.

This keyword has no parameters.

The RSPCONFIRM keyword must have an option indicator when it applies to a record for which any of the following keywords apply:

ALWWRT
CONFIRM
DETACH
ENDGRP
EVOKE

FMH
FMTNAME
FRCDTA
INVITE

RQSWRT
SUBDEV
VARBUFMGT
VARLEN

At run time, data fields and these keywords are ignored when the RSPCONFIRM keyword is in effect. If an unoptioned RSPCONFIRM keyword applies to a record for which any of these keywords apply, error messages are issued and these keywords are ignored at creation time. If an unoptioned RSPCONFIRM applies to a record with data fields, a severe error is issued and the file is not created.

The RSPCONFIRM keyword is ignored at run time when EOS, FAIL, NEGRSP, CANCEL, or CNLINVITE is in effect. These keywords must have option indicators when they apply to a record for which RSPCONFIRM applies. If an unoptioned EOS, FAIL, NEGRSP, CANCEL, or CNLINVITE applies to a record for which RSPCONFIRM applies, an error message is issued and the RSPCONFIRM keyword is ignored at creation time.

Option indicators are valid for this keyword. When you specify this keyword at the file level, you should specify an option indicator.

You cannot specify RSPCONFIRM with the TIMER keyword.

Example

The following example shows how to specify the RSPCONFIRM keyword.

|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
     A          R RCD
     A
     A  20                                  RSPCONFIRM
     A

If option indicator 20 is on, an output operation to RCD will send a positive response to the confirm request received from the remote program.
