L_DicomGetFlags

#include "ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API L_UINT32 L_DicomGetFlags(hNet)

Returns currently set flags on the HDICOMNET.

Parameters

HDICOMNET hNet

A DICOM Network handle. This is the handle created by calling L_DicomCreateNet.

Returns

Currently set flags on the HDICOMNET.

Comments

Group Length (gggg,0000) Standard Data Elements have been retired.
The default behavior is to not include Group Length Standard Data Elements in DICOM communication.

Setting the DICOMNET_FLAGS_SENDDATA_WITH_GROUP_LENGTH_STANDARD_DATA_ELEMENTS flag will include Group Length Standard Data Elements in DICOM communication.

Note that Elements in groups 0, 2, 4 and 6 are not Standard Data Element, so for these groups, this does not apply.

For example, the CommandGroupLength element (0000,0000) is still required for these DIMSE commands:

• C-STORE-RQ
• C-STORE-RSP
• C-FIND-RQ
• C-FIND-RSP
• C-CANCEL-FIND-RQ
• C-GET-RQ
• C-GET-RSP
• C-CANCEL-GET-RQ
• C-MOVE-RQ
• C-MOVE-RSP
• C-CANCEL-MOVE-RQ
• C-ECHO-RQ
• C-ECHO-RSP
• N-EVENT-REPORT-RQ
• N-EVENT-REPORT-RSP
• N-GET-RQ
• N-GET-RSP
• N-SET-RQ
• N-SET-RSP
• N-ACTION-RQ
• N-ACTION-RSP
• N-CREATE-RQ
• N-CREATE-RSP
• N-DELETE-RQ
• N-DELETE-RSP
