Example: Client on VMS, server on OS9.

See also: running under OS9 , running under VMS .

The general procedure is as described in running under OS9 :

Write the server, client, and variable declaration files
RPC the declaration file with correct options
Link the client modules on the VAX (for this application)
Port the server routines, compile, and link with RPC files
Define the logical/environment variables(=addresses)
Run the application

The client program is as follows: #include <stdio.h> #include <rpcrts.h> extern void open_test_2(); extern rpc_long testfun_2(); main() { int a,b; open_test_2(); /* connect us to the server */ a = 1; b = 9; printf("\n A = %d B = %d", a, b); printf("\n A + B = %d", testfun_2(a,b)); } The pacakge definition file is as follows: PACKAGE TEST_2 IS FUNCTION TESTFUN_2 ( P1 : IN RPC_LONG; P2 : IN RPC_LONG) RETURN RPC_LONG; END TEST_2; Here is the server program: #include <rpcrts.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <types.h> extern void attach_test_2(); extern void rpc_init(); main() { rpc_status status; rpc_init(); attach_test_2(); rpc_loop_server(&status,"RPC_CLIENT_NAME "); rpc_report_error(&status); } testfun_2(p1,p2) int p1,p2; { return(p1 + p2); } To run it, Define the addresses, under OS9: SETENV RPC_CLIENT_NAME AA_00_04_00_15_58_5680.ETHERNET or, to service requests from any address, SETENV RPC_CLIENT_NAME "*_5680.ETHERNET" and on the VAX: VAX: DEFINE TEST_2 0@02_60_86_00_04_4E_5680.ETHERNET Then start the server and run the client.
