Tell and Wait

After calling DBCHINI, set the delay options as follows:

 

Delay Option

Setting

Wait‑during‑delay

Y

Tell‑if‑delay

Y

Given this combination of options, a delay can be handled as follows:

  • The application calls DBCHCL for some function
  • The Teradata Database delay occurs before or after receiving information from DBCHCL
  • CLIv2 returns control to the application, with return code of 286
  • The application can tell its user of the possible delay and can ask user whether to wait or disconnect, assuming wait
  • The application calls DBCHCL for the fetch function
  • Communication is re-established
  • The application obtains results of the Fetch, which may be as follows:
  • The Teradata Database does not know anything about a request with that request number (Error parcel with error code 2825)
  • The Teradata Database aborted that request (Failure parcel with failure code 2828)
  • The request completed successfully but the response has been lost (Error parcel with error code 2826)
  • The application takes action appropriate to the application
  • Note: Before submitting a request, save a copy of the request in case it must be resubmitted. If a transaction spans several requests, save a copy of each request in the transaction in case the transaction must be resubmitted.

    Note: Tell and wait may be useful to terminal‑oriented applications to distinguish excessive response time.
