The following listing shows how tpacall() uses the TPNOTRAN and TPNOREPLY flags. This code is similar to the code in Example: Sending a Synchronous Message with TPNOTRAN Set. In this case, however, a reply is not expected from the PRINTER service. By setting both TPNOTRAN and TPNOREPLY flags, the client is indicating that no reply is expected and the PRINTER service will not participate in the current transaction. This situation is discussed more fully in Managing Errors.
