MSPL built-in functions

The Microsoft SIP Processing Language (MSPL) provides several built-in functions that are useful for common SIP application tasks, such as message forking, the creation of proxy objects, and parameter parsing.

Certain functions, such as BeginFork/ Fork/ EndFork, must be called in a certain order; otherwise, an error is generated. Other functions must be called only when the message being processed is a request or a response; otherwise, a critical error is also generated. If 10 critical errors of this type are generated during runtime, the application is be disabled.

MSPL defines the built-in functions described in the following table.
