When the connection is successfully
opened, the client
application is ready to send messages by means of the _send method. Using
the _send method, the client application can optionally specify a message
type. The message-type values are defined by the application, and both the
client and server pieces of the application must be coded to recognize and
process this defined set of message types. For example, the message type can
be used to indicate the number and the types of parameters in the message:
- Message type 1 indicates one parameter of type
character (that is, a string).
- Message type 2 indicates one parameter of type
numeric.
msgtype=1;
call send(payobj, '_send', msgtype, rc,
'Start nightly processing');
