Appeal No. 96-1921 Application No. 08/225,158 issuing the instruction intending it to be processed by VTAM, and causes the method set forth in claim 10 to be carried out, bypassing VTAM. Since the prior art referenced by the examiner relates to VTAM, while the instant claims are directed to bypassing VTAM, there is no anticipation of the instant claimed invention by the cited prior art. More specifically, we find nothing in the prior art cited that suggests step (e) of the method recited in claim 10. There is no conversion, in the prior art cited, of the outgoing data stream to an incoming data stream by modifying the RECEIVE request’s RPL portion to include the address of the buffer memory where the SEND request’s data portion is stored. Accordingly, the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 10 and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a) or (b) is reversed. REVERSED 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
