GIMAPI is a program (load module) provided with IBM SMP/E for z/OS, V3R6 that can be called by a user-written application program to query the contents of the CSI.
GIMAPI uses data structures both to receive the query parameters from the caller and to return the query output to the caller. To request a query, you must set up the data structure containing the appropriate query parameters and call GIMAPI.
