1.3.3.2 Using FML/FML32 Typed Buffers

The Tuxedo .NET Workstation Client uses class TypedFML/TypedFML32 to define most FML C functions. You should do the following steps to develop Tuxedo .NET applications using FML typed buffers:

1. Define FML field table files.

   Compile field table files into C# source files using the mkfldcs Tuxedo .NET Workstation Client utility. The generated C# files contain public classes including definitions of every FML field ID defined in the field table files. See also mkfldcs(1)

2. Write your .NET application.

   Use TypeFML class methods to create and access FML data.

For more FML typed buffer programming information, see Programming a Tuxedo ATMI Application Using FML.

Note:

.NET Workstation Client supports the FLD_MBSTRING field in FML32 buffer. For more information, refer to Fmbpack32() and Fmbunpack32(). refer to Section 3fml - FML Functions.

The following code snippet illustrates the FML Auto-Generated Code Using mkfldcs (C# code example)

using Bea.Tuxedo.FML;

namespace Bea.Tuxedo.Autogen {

public class fnext_flds {

public static readonly FLDID F_short = 110; // number: 110 type: short

public static readonly FLDID F_view32 = 369098863; // number: 111 type: view32
public static readonly FLDID F_double = 134217840; // number: 112 type: double
public static readonly FLDID F_ptr = 301990001; // number: 113 type: ptr

}

} // namespace Bea.Tuxedo.Autogen 

The following code snippet illustrates the using TypedFML Class (C# code example)

……

TypedFML fmlbuf = new TypedFML(2048);

short s = 123;

fmlbuf.Fadd(fnext_flds.F_short, s);

……

fmlbuf.Resize(3000);

……

fmlbuf.Dispose();
