Readee
Semantics
The role type Readee corresponds to the requirement that the associated player in a FileIO connection be the next block of data to be read from the front of a sequential file. The format of this block is specified in the RecordFormat property associated with the SeqFile component. The player type ReadNext in UniCon captures the semantics of this data block. The responsibility of the ReadNext player is to act as the next data block to be read from a sequential file in a FileIO connection.
In a FileIO connection whose IOMode is either ReadOnly or ReadWrite, there must be exactly one data block to be read next from the sequential file (i.e., one Readee role/player association). This data block may be NULL.
