PROCSEND

System Testing Test Script Language.

Syntax

PROCSEND <message_type> : <msg> ON <commtype> : <id>

END PROCSEND

Description

The PROCSEND instruction allows you to define a message-sending procedure. The SEND statement uses this instruction.

<message_type> is declared with the MESSAGE instruction.

<msg> is the input parameter of <message_type> that describes the message to be sent.

<commtype> is the communication method for sending messages.

Use the <id> formal input parameter to specify the connection on which a message has to be sent.

You must declare the message-sending procedure in the first part of the test script, before the first scenario.

Declare <commtype> with the instruction COMMTYPE.

Declare <message_type> with the instruction MESSAGE.

You only need to declare one message-sending procedure a message and communication type pair.

If the structured C <message_type> contains unions, you should declare the field of the union that you want to use. For this purpose, a structured variable is implicitly defined. Its name adds ATL_ before the name of the <message_type>. An attribute selected for each union lets you define the field.

Example

typedef enum { e_name, e_id, e_balance } client_kind_t ;

typdef struct {

client_kind_t kind ;

union {

char name[50];

int id ;

float balance ;

} my_union

} client_info_t;

COMMTYPE socket IS socket_id_t

CHANNEL socket: ch

MESSAGE client_info_t: msg

#socket_id_t id;

PROCSEND message_t: msg ON appl_comm: id

...

CALL socket (sock_type, SOCK_DGRAM, 0) @ 0

...

END PROCSEND
