2RPC Broker Example form ver. 1.1 9/3/97

6Disclaimer:
7 This example does not attempt to teach general Delphi and M programming.
8 We intentionally removed any safeguards from the code that prevents
9 passing values that are too small or too large. Therefore, the important
10 code remains uncluttered and the programmer is free to experiment and
11 push the program beyond its limits.
12
13Purpose:
14 This sample application is an example of how to program client/server
15 applications in Delphi and M using the RPC Broker. The demonstrated features
16 include:
17 - Connecting to an M server
18 - Creating an application context
19 - Using the GetServerInfo function
20 - Displaying the VistA splash screen
21 - Setting the TRPCBroker Param property for each Param PType (literal,
22 reference, list)
23 - Calling RPCs with the Call method
24 - Calling RPCs with the lstCall and strCall methods
25
26 We encourage you to study the Delphi and M source code to see how the
27 Broker is used to accomplish these tasks. Try changing some of the
28 RPCBroker1 component properties to see what happens. Also, try other
29 values in the fields of the remote procedure records in the
30 REMOTE PROCEDURE file.
31
32Warning: "Get list" and "Sort numbers" tabs can potentially take excessively
33large data samples which can either crash server process or cause the
34connection timeout. Final note, memory allocation errors are not recorded
35in the Kernel error trap. They are recorded in the operating system error
36trap.
