CAN/CSA-Z243.182-89 (R2013)

This National Standard of Canada is identical in content and in layout with International Standard ISO 8571-3:1988, Information processing systems - Open Systems Interconnection - File Transfer, Access and Management - Part 3: File Service Definition. 1 Scope and Field of Application This part of ISO 8571 defines in an abstract way the externally visible file transfer, access and management service within the OSI Application Layer in terms of: (a) the primitive actions and events of the service; (b) the parameter data associated with each primitive action and event; (c) the relationship between, and the valid sequences of, these actions and events. The service defined in ISO 8571-3 is that which is provided by the OSI file transfer, access and management protocol ISO 8571-4 in conjunction with the Association Control Service Elements ISO 8649 and with the Presentation service ISO 8822. ISO 8571-3 does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it constrain the implementation of entities and interfaces within a computer system. There is, therefore, no conformance to this part of ISO 8571.
