This topic shows the data structures defined in Data structures for QUERY command as they would appear in PL/I. The calling program must declare all the structures it is going to use before calling GIMAPI.
The data structures defined for the entries are BASED variables. This means no storage is allocated for the variables, but they are used to reference data allocated by the GIMAPI command. The calling program must declare pointer variables to reference the storage.
A macro file for PL/I is provided in member GIMMPLI of the MACLIB library.
