This file contains the Lower Layer Protocol Parameters used by the HL7 package. Each protocol will use a separate node to hold the
parameters associated will the LLP used by the Logical Link. The currently defined nodes are:
100 - MailMan 200 - HLLP 300 - X3.28
There may be redundant information contained on nodes, the goal was to allow the applications to grap a one node for all the
parameters required. There should be an entry in this file for each Logical Link defined in file (#870). There is an x-ref "ALLP"
defined for file (#870) to facilitate navigation from this file.

time has expired, the LLP will continue to dequeue and send messages. Otherwise, the LLP will
become inactive and will remain inactive until further messages are queued.

LAST EDITED: MAR 05, 1998
HELP-PROMPT: Enter the Taskman node to start this LLP on.
DESCRIPTION: This field is ONLY for VMS sites running Dual Taskman in DCL.
This field is used to specify what Taskman node you want to job the Lower Level Protocol. It
should only be used if you have two Taskmans running and only want the LLP to run on a particular
node. It will only work if you are running the dual Taskmans in DCL context on a VMS system.
