LANSA Built-in Functions that use the LANSA Composer Request Server
If your organization uses LANSA development tools, you should know that as of LANSA V12SP1, a set of built-in functions is available in the LANSA development environment that permit your LANSA applications to interact with LANSA Composer through the LANSA Composer Request Server.
The built-in functions are:
COMPOSER_USE : Specifies connection information for subsequent requests
COMPOSER_RUN : Runs a LANSA Composer Processing Sequence
COMPOSER_CALLF : Calls a LANSA function
The COMPOSER_RUN built-in function is for use in a LANSA application to execute a LANSA Composer Processing Sequence through the LANSA Composer Request Server.
The COMPOSER_CALLF built-in function is intended to be used in a custom activity processor that executes in the LANSA Composer environment. It is to permit your custom activity processor to call a function in your LANSA application through the LANSA Composer Request Server.
Refer to the LANSA Technical Reference for detailed programming instructions for these built-in functions.
NOTE: the LANSA built-in functions do not support connecting to a request server on a remote system. They can only be used for integrating LANSA applications and LANSA Composer systems that execute on the same server system.
