DECnet-RSX Programmer's Reference Manual

The DECnet-RSX Programmer's Reference Manual provides comprehensive programming documentation for developing network applications on DECnet-11M, DECnet-11M-PLUS, DECnet-11S, and DECnet-Micro/RSX systems. It covers:

• Intertask Communication: Conventions and concepts for task-to-task messaging using MACRO-11, FORTRAN 77, COBOL, and BASIC-PLUS-2.
• Remote File Access: Operations for reading, writing, appending, and deleting sequential files on remote nodes.
• Task Control: Capabilities for executing, scheduling, and aborting tasks on remote nodes using FORTRAN.
• Direct Line Access (DLX): Low-level data link interface for Ethernet, point-to-point, and multipoint communication, bypassing standard DECnet services.
• LAT Programming: Guidelines for programming applications to use Local Area Transport terminal servers.

The manual is structured for developers, with dedicated chapters for different programming facilities, extensive error/completion code tables, and programming examples in various languages.
