Selecting object fields to update or retrieve

You select object fields to update or retrieve by specifying values in the APPFLD and APPDAT sections of a buffer.

The APPFLD section identifies an object field. For GET requests, APPFLD identifies a field in each located object instance that you want HCL Workload Automation for Z to return in the receive buffer. For PUT and CREATE requests, APPFLD identifies the field that you want to update. APPFLD is not used for DEL requests or when the object for a CREATE request is BACKUP_EVENT.

For a GET request, the APPDAT section is not used in a send buffer. APPDAT sections are returned in a receive buffer if data is found. For PUT and CREATE requests, APPDAT contains the new values for the fields identified in APPFLD sections. You must specify only 1 APPDAT per APPOBJ.

For a description of the fields that you can update or retrieve, see API object fields.
