Preparing Your Data Definition Language (DDL) Source
The Tandem DDE Gateway Bridge Program
110838 Tandem Computers Incorporated 5–3
Syntax
TDMGW-DDEALIAS=AliasName
Default
Data element name has no alias.
TDMGW-MESSAGE-FLAG
Directive
This directive provides a numeric flag that you want associated with all data elements
in a message structure. You can use this flag in a User Hook Library to implement
application-specific automatic data conversions. Specify an integer number between 0
and 4294967294 for the value of this directive. Do not use commas in the number.
Specify this directive only before a DDL DEF that defines a complete message layout.
Syntax
TDMGW-MESSAGE-FLAG=number
Default
0 (zero)
TDMGW-ELEMENT-FLAG
Directive
This directive provides a numeric flag that you want associated with an individual
data element in a message structure. You can use this flag in a User Hook Library to
implement application-specific automatic data conversions. Specify an integer
number between 0 and 4294967294 for the value of this directive. Do not use commas
in the number.
Specify this directive only before a data item within a DDL DEF.
Syntax
TDMGW-ELEMENT-FLAG=number
Default
0 (zero)
