Data area

About this task

When EQQYCOM returns control to your program after a successful SELECT request, this fullword contains the address of the data area containing the requested record.

If you are retrieving a record from a list, only the common segment of the record is returned. A description of the fields in the common segment of each record can be found in Appendix A. Program Interface Record Format.

If you are retrieving a record directly from HCL Workload Automation for Z, the complete record with all segments can be returned, depending on the resource type. A description of the segments in each record and the fields in each segment can be found in Appendix A. Program Interface Record Format.

The header section for this record contains, besides the normal header information, a field containing one of these items:
  • The index number of the record in the list, if the record was retrieved from a LIST. For example, 1 for the first record in the list, 2 for the second.
  • The length of the data area (header and data), if the record was not retrieved from a LIST.
This field is in the final header entry, that is, the entry that has a blank segment name field. The count is stored in the field that normally contains the segment offset. For a complete description of headers, see Header format.
