Comparison of IPCINT to Programmatic NetIPC 

The following examples show the difference between programmatic access
and IPCINT used to execute the IPCCREATE intrinsic.

Example:  Programmatic Access to X.25 

For a program using direct access to X.25 level 3, a call to IPCCREATE
can be specified as follows:

     IPCCREATE (3,2,,opt,calldesc,result)

The value  3 for parameter  socketkind specifies a call socket.  The
value  2 (for parameter  protocol) indicates the protocol access is X.25.
At a minimum, the  opt array would contain the X.25 network name, and
optionally either define a catch-all socket ( opt code 144, bit 2) or
specify a protocol relative address ( opt code 128).  The  calldesc will
contain the call socket descriptor, and  result will contain an error (if
any).

Example:  IPCINT for X.25 Direct Access 

For example, to execute the  IPCCREATE intrinsic using IPCINT, enter  CR
from the IPCINT prompt (see example below).  You are prompted for the
IPCCREATE X.25 parameters.  In this example, no catch-all socket is
specified; therefore, a protocol relative address is specified.  The
network name is a required parameter.  The network name X25NET is used in
this example.  After the required parameters are entered, press RETURN 
and the IPCCREATE intrinsic is executed.

      CR 
     Protocol:  2 
     Catch All Socket (Y/N)?  N 
     Protocol Relative Address:  31000 
     Network name (8 chars):  X25NET 
     -----> Executing: IPCCREATE
     CALL = 6
