Continuation Pointer

2.24.8.0 DSC field definition

2.24.8.1 Continuation pointer (ST) 00014

Definition: This field contains the continuation pointer. See the description of Continuation Fields in Section 2.15.4, "Interactive continuation or cancellation of response messages: original mode (display and record oriented) and enhanced mode (display, tabular, and event replay)." In an initial query, this field is not present. If the responder returns a value of null or not present, then there is no more data to fulfill any future continuation requests. For use with continuations of unsolicited messages, see Sections 2.14.2, "UDM/ACK - unsolicited display update message (event Q05)," and 2.23.2 "Continuation messages and segments." Note that continuation protocols work with both display and record-oriented messages.
