Callin Function Reference

This reference chapter contains detailed descriptions of all InterSystems Callin functions, arranged in alphabetical order. For an introduction to the Callin functions organized by function, see Using the Callin Functions.

Note:

InterSystems Callin functions that operate on strings have both 8-bit and Unicode versions. These functions use a suffix character to indicate the type of string that they handle:

  • Names with an “A” suffix or no suffix at all (for example, IrisEvalA or IrisPopExStr) are versions for 8-bit character strings.

  • Names with a “W” suffix (for example, IrisEvalW or IrisPopExStrW) are versions for Unicode character strings on platforms that use 2–byte Unicode characters.

  • Names with an “H” suffix (for example, IrisEvalH or IrisPopExStrH) are versions for Unicode character strings on platforms that use 4–byte Unicode characters.

For convenience, the different versions of each function are listed together here. For example, IrisEvalA[W][H] or IrisPopExStr[W][H] .

  • IRIS_RESJOB — Terminates the Callin connection. You must then call IrisEnd and then IrisStart to reconnect to InterSystems IRIS.

Description

Tells InterSystems IRIS to cancel the current request being processed on the InterSystems IRIS side, when it is convenient to do so. This function is for use if you detect some critical event in an AST (asynchronous trap) or thread running on the Callin side. (You can use IrisContext to determine if there is an InterSystems IRIS request currently being processed.) Note that this only applies to Callin programs that use an AST or separate thread.

Return Values for IrisAbort

IRIS_BADARG The termination type is invalid.
IRIS_CONBROKEN Connection has been broken.
IRIS_NOCON No connection has been established.
IRIS_NOTINCACHE The Callin partner is not in InterSystems IRIS at this time.

Arguments

nsub Number of subscripts in the lock reference.
flg Modifiers to the lock command. Valid values are one or both of IRIS_INCREMENTAL_LOCK and IRIS_SHARED_LOCK.
tout Number of seconds to wait for the lock command to complete. Negative for no timeout. 0 means return immediately if the lock is not available, although a minimum timeout may be applied if the lock is mapped to a remote system.
rval Optional pointer to an int return value: success = 1, failure = 0.
Description

Executes an InterSystems IRIS LOCK command. The lock reference should already be set up with IrisPushLock.

Return Values for IrisAcquireLock

IRIS_FAILURE An unexpected error has occurred.
IRIS_SUCCESS Successfully called the LOCK command (but the rval parameter must be examined to determine if the lock succeeded).
IRIS_CONBROKEN Connection has been closed due to a serious error.
IRIS_ERARGSTACK Argument stack overflow.

IrisBitFind

int IrisBitFind(int strlen, unsigned short *bitstr, int newlen, int srch, int revflg)

revflg Specifies the search direction:

1 — Search forward (left to right) from the position indicated by newlen.

0 — Search backward from the position indicated by newlen.

Description

Returns the bit position (1-based) of the next bit within bitstring bitstr that has the value specified by srch. The direction of the search is indicated by revflg. Returns 0 if there are no more bits of the specified value in the specified direction.

This function is similar to InterSystems IRIS $BITFIND (also see “General Information on Bitstring Functions”).

Return Values for IrisBitFind

0 — Search backward from the position indicated by newlen.

Description

Returns the bit position (1-based) of the next bit within bitstring bitstr that has the value specified by srch. The direction of the search is indicated by revflg. Returns 0 if there are no more bits of the specified value in the specified direction.

This function is similar to InterSystems IRIS $BITFIND (also see “General Information on Bitstring Functions”).

Return Values for IrisBitFindB

IRIS_SUCCESS The operation was successful.

IrisCallExecuteFunc

int IrisCallExecuteFunc(int numargs)
Arguments

numargs Number of arguments pushed onto the stack.
Description

Calls the $Xecute() function with arguments. The function command string must have been pushed onto the argument stack by IrisPushExecuteFuncA[W][H], followed by pushing the arguments. The number of arguments may be 0. The result of the function will be left on the argument stack.

Arguments

username Username of the user whose password must be changed.
oldpassword User's old password.
newpassword New password.
Description

This function can change the user's password if InterSystems authentication or delegated authentication is used. It is not valid for LDAP, Kerberos, or other forms of authentication. It must be called before a Callin session is initialized. A typical use would be to handle a IRIS_CHANGEPASSWORD error from IrisSecureStart. In such a case IrisChangePassword would be called to change the password, then IrisSecureStart would be called again.

Return Values for IrisChangePasswordA

IRIS_FAILURE An unexpected error has occurred.
IRIS_SUCCESS Password changed.

IrisChangePasswordH

Variants: IrisChangePasswordA, IrisChangePasswordW

int IrisChangePasswordH(IRISHSTRP username, IRISHSTRP oldpassword, IRISHSTRP newpassword)
Arguments

username Username of the user whose password must be changed.
oldpassword User's old password.
newpassword New password.
Description

This function can change the user's password if InterSystems authentication or delegated authentication is used. It is not valid for LDAP, Kerberos, or other forms of authentication. It must be called before a Callin session is initialized. A typical use would be to handle a IRIS_CHANGEPASSWORD error from IrisSecureStart. In such a case IrisChangePassword would be called to change the password, then IrisSecureStart would be called again.

Return Values for IrisChangePasswordH

IRIS_FAILURE An unexpected error has occurred.
IRIS_SUCCESS Password changed.

IrisChangePasswordW

Variants: IrisChangePasswordA, IrisChangePasswordH

int IrisChangePasswordW(IRISWSTRP username, IRISWSTRP oldpassword, IRISWSTRP newpassword)
Arguments

username Username of the user whose password must be changed.
oldpassword User's old password.
newpassword New password.
Description

This function can change the user's password if InterSystems authentication or delegated authentication is used. It is not valid for LDAP, Kerberos, or other forms of authentication. It must be called before a Callin session is initialized. A typical use would be to handle a IRIS_CHANGEPASSWORD error from IrisSecureStart. In such a case IrisChangePassword would be called to change the password, then IrisSecureStart would be called again.

Return Values for IrisChangePasswordW

IRIS_FAILURE An unexpected error has occurred.
IRIS_SUCCESS Password changed.

IrisCloseOref

int IrisCloseOref(unsigned int oref)
Arguments

oref Object reference.
Description

Decrements the system reference counter for an OREF.

Return Values for IrisCloseOref

IRIS_ERBADOREF Invalid OREF.
IRIS_SUCCESS The operation was successful.

IrisContext

int IrisContext()
Description

Returns an integer as the function value.

If you are using an external Callin program (as opposed to a module that was called from a $ZF function) and your program employs an AST or separate thread, then IrisContext tells you if there is a request currently being processed on the InterSystems IRIS side of the connection. This information is needed to decide if you must return to InterSystems IRIS to allow processing to complete.

Return Values for IrisContext

-1 Created in InterSystems IRIS via a $ZF callback.
0 No connection or not in InterSystems IRIS at the moment.
1 In InterSystems IRIS via an external (i.e., not $ZF) connection. An asynchronous trap (AST), such as an exit-handler, would need to return to InterSystems IRIS to allow processing to complete.
Note:

The information about whether you are in a $ZF function from a program or an AST is needed because, if you are in an AST, then you need to return to InterSystems IRIS to allow processing to complete.

Example

rc = IrisContext();

IrisConvert

int IrisConvert(unsigned long type, void * rbuf)
Arguments

type The #define'd type, with valid values listed below.
rbuf Address of a data area of the proper size for the data type. If the type is IRIS_ASTRING, rbuf should be the address of a IRIS_ASTR structure that will contain the result, and the len element in the structure should be filled in to represent the maximum size of the string to be returned (in characters). Similarly, if the type is IRIS_WSTRING, rbuf should be the address of a IRISWSTR structure whose len element has been filled in to represent the maximum size (in characters).
Description

Converts the value returned by IrisEval into proper format and places in address specified in its return value (listed below as rbuf).

Valid values of type are:

  • IRIS_ASTRING — 8-bit character string.

  • IRIS_CHAR — 8-bit signed integer.

  • IRIS_DOUBLE — 64-bit floating point.

  • IRIS_FLOAT — 32-bit floating point.

  • IRIS_INT — 32-bit signed integer.

  • IRIS_INT2 — 16-bit signed integer.

  • IRIS_INT4 — 32-bit signed integer.

  • IRIS_INT8 — 64-bit signed integer.

  • IRIS_UCHAR — 8-bit unsigned integer.

  • IRIS_UINT — 32-bit unsigned integer.

  • IRIS_UINT2 — 16-bit unsigned integer.

  • IRIS_UINT4 — 32-bit unsigned integer.

  • IRIS_UINT8 — 64-bit unsigned integer.

  • IRIS_WSTRING — Unicode character string.

Return Values for IrisConvert

IRIS_BADARG Type is invalid.
IRIS_CONBROKEN Connection has been closed due to a serious error.
IRIS_ERSYSTEM Either ObjectScript generated a <SYSTEM> error, or if called from a $ZF function, an internal counter may be out of sync.
IRIS_FAILURE An unexpected error has occurred.
IRIS_NOCON No connection has been established.
IRIS_NORES No result whose type can be returned (no call to IrisEvalA preceded this call).
IRIS_RETTRUNC Success, but the type IRIS_ASTRING, IRIS_INT8, IRIS_UINT8 and IRIS_WSTRING resulted in a value that would not fit in the space allocated in retval. For IRIS_INT8 and IRIS_UINT8, this means that the expression resulted in a floating point number that could not be normalized to fit within 64 bits.
IRIS_STRTOOLONG String is too long.
IRIS_SUCCESS Value returned by last IrisEval converted successfully.
Note:

InterSystems IRIS may perform division when calculating the return value for floating point types, IRIS_FLOAT and IRIS_DOUBLE, which have decimal parts (including negative exponents), as well as the 64-bit integer types (IRIS_INT8 and IRIS_UINT8). Therefore, the returned result may not be identical in value to the original. IRIS_ASTRING, IRIS_INT8, IRIS_UINT8 and IRIS_WSTRING can return the status IRIS_RETTRUNC.

Example

IRIS_ASTR retval;
/* define variable retval */

retval.len = 20;
/* maximum return length of string */

rc = IrisConvert(IRIS_ASTRING,&retval);

IrisCtrl

int IrisCtrl(unsigned long flags)
Arguments

flags Either of two #define'd values specifying how InterSystems IRIS handles certain keystrokes.
Description

Determines whether or not InterSystems IRIS ignores CTRL-C. flags can have bit state values of

  • IRIS_DISACTRLC — InterSystems IRIS ignores CTRL-C.

  • IRIS_ENABCTRLC — Default if function is not called, unless overridden by a BREAK or an OPEN command. In InterSystems IRIS, CTRL-C generates an <INTERRUPT>.

Return Values for IrisCtrl

IRIS_FAILURE Returns if called from a $ZF function (rather than from within a Callin executable).
IRIS_SUCCESS Control function performed.
Example

rc = IrisCtrl(IRIS_ENABCTRLC);

IrisSecureStartA

Variants: IrisSecureStartW, IrisSecureStartH

int IrisSecureStartA(IRIS_ASTRP username, IRIS_ASTRP password, IRIS_ASTRP exename,
                      unsigned long flags, int tout, IRIS_ASTRP prinp, IRIS_ASTRP prout)
Arguments

username Username to authenticate. Use NULL to authenticate as UnknownUseror OS authentication or kerberos credentials cache.
password Password to authenticate with. Use NULL to authenticate as UnknownUser or OS authentication or kerberos credentials cache.
exename Callin executable name (or other process identifier). This user-defined string will show up in JOBEXAM and in audit records. NULL is a valid value.
flags One or more of the terminal settings listed below.
tout The timeout specified in seconds. Default is 0. If 0 is specified, the timeout will never expire. The timeout applies only to waiting for an available partition, not the time associated with initializing the partition, waiting for internal resources, opening the principal input and output devices, etc.
prinp String that defines the principal input device for InterSystems IRIS. An empty string (prinp.len == 0) implies using the standard input device for the process. A NULL pointer ((void *) 0) implies using the NULL device.
prout String that defines the principal output device for InterSystems IRIS. An empty string (prout.len == 0) implies using the standard output device for the process. A NULL pointer ((void *) 0) implies using the NULL device.
Description

Calls into InterSystems IRIS to set up a process..

The input and output devices (prinp and prout) are opened when this command is executed, not deferred until the first I/O operation. By contrast, normally when you initiate a connection, InterSystems IRIS does not open the principal input or output device until it is first used.

Valid values for the flags variable are:

  • IRIS_PROGMODE — InterSystems IRIS should treat the connection as one in Programmer mode, rather than the Application mode. This means that distinct errors are reported to the calling function and the connection remains active. (By default, a Callin connection is like execution of a routine in application mode. Any runtime error detected by InterSystems IRIS results in closing the connection and returning error IRIS_CONBROKEN for both the current operation and any subsequent attempts to use Callin without establishing a new connection.)

  • IRIS_TTALL — Default. InterSystems IRIS should initialize the terminal's settings and restore them across each call into, and return from, the interface.

  • IRIS_TTCALLIN — InterSystems IRIS should initialize the terminal each time it is called but should restore it only when IrisEnd is called or the connection is broken.

  • IRIS_TTSTART — InterSystems IRIS should initialize the terminal when the connection is formed and reset it when the connection is terminated.

  • IRIS_TTNEVER — InterSystems IRIS should not alter the terminal's settings.

  • IRIS_TTNONE — InterSystems IRIS should not do any output or input from the principal input/output devices. This is equivalent to specifying the null device for principal input and principal output. Read commands from principal input generate an <ENDOFFILE> error and Write command to principal output are ignored.

  • IRIS_TTNOUSE — This flag is allowed with IRIS_TTALL, IRIS_TTCALLIN, and IRIS_TTSTART. It is implicitly set by the flags IRIS_TTNEVER and IRIS_TTNONE. It indicates that InterSystems IRIS Open and Use commands are not allowed to alter the terminal, subsequent to the initial open of principal input and principal output.

Return Values for IrisSecureStartA

IRIS_ACCESSDENIED Authentication has failed. Check the audit log for the real authentication error.
IRIS_ALREADYCON Connection already existed. Returned if you call IrisSecureStartH from a $ZF function.
IRIS_CHANGEPASSWORD Password change required. This return value is only returned if you are using InterSystems authentication.
IRIS_CONBROKEN Connection was formed and then broken, and IrisEnd has not been called to clean up.
IRIS_FAILURE An unexpected error has occurred.
IRIS_STRTOOLONG prinp or prout is too long.
IRIS_SUCCESS Connection formed.

The flags parameter(s) convey information about how your C program will behave and how you want InterSystems IRIS to set terminal characteristics. The safest, but slowest, route is to have InterSystems IRIS set and restore terminal settings for each call into ObjectScript. However, you can save ObjectScript overhead by handling more of that yourself, and collecting only information that matters to your program. The parameter IRIS_TTNEVER requires the least overhead.

The file dobackup is used for input. It contains an ObjectScript script for an InterSystems IRIS backup. Output appears on the terminal.

inpdev;
outdev;
int rc;

strcpy(inpdev.str, "[BATCHDIR]dobackup");
inpdev.len = strlen(inpdev.str);
strcpy(outdev.str,"");
outdev.len = strlen(outdev.str);
rc = IrisStartW(IRIS_TTALL|IRIS_TTNOUSE,0,inpdev,outdev);

IrisTCommit

int IrisTCommit( )
Description

Executes an InterSystems IRIS TCommit command.

Return Values for IrisTCommit

IRIS_SUCCESS TCommit was successful.

IrisTLevel

int IrisTLevel( )
Description

Returns the current nesting level ($TLEVEL) for transaction processing.

IRIS_SUCCESS TLevel was successful.

IrisTRollback

int IrisTRollback(int nlev)
Arguments

nlev Determines how many levels to roll back, (all levels if 0, one level if 1).
Description

Executes an InterSystems IRIS TRollback command. If nlev is 0, rolls back all transactions in progress (no matter how many levels of TSTART were issued) and resets $TLEVEL to 0. If nlev is 1, rolls back the current level of nested transactions (the one initiated by the most recent TSTART) and decrements $TLEVEL by 1.

Return Values for IrisTRollback

IRIS_SUCCESS TStart was successful.

IrisTStart

int IrisTStart( )
Description

Executes an InterSystems IRIS TStart command.

Return Values for IrisTStart

IRIS_SUCCESS TStart was successful.

IrisType

int IrisType( )
Description

Returns the native type of the item returned by IrisEvalA, IrisEvalW, or IrisEvalH as the function value.

Return Values for IrisType

IRIS_ASTRING 8-bit string.
IRIS_CONBROKEN Connection has been closed due to a serious error condition or RESJOB.
IRIS_DOUBLE 64-bit floating point.
IRIS_ERSYSTEM Either ObjectScript generated a <SYSTEM> error, or if called from a $ZF function, an internal counter may be out of sync.
IRIS_IEEE_DBL 64-bit IEEE floating point.
IRIS_INT 32-bit integer.
IRIS_NOCON No connection has been established.
IRIS_NORES No result whose type can be returned (no call to IrisEvalA or IrisEvalW preceded this call).
IRIS_OREF InterSystems IRIS object reference.
IRIS_WSTRING Unicode string.
Example

rc = IrisType();

IrisUnPop

int IrisUnPop( )
Description

Restores the stack entry from IrisPop.

Return Values for IrisUnPop

IRIS_NORES No result whose type can be returned has preceded this call.
IRIS_SUCCESS The operation was successful.
