Identifying structured field introducers

A structured field introducer (SFI) is a structure that identifies one line or field of output data from another. The DFSMSrmm API returns these types of structured field introducers in your output buffer:

Structured field introducers that begin and end a resource group as described in Begin and End Resource groups.
Structured field introducers that introduce a single line of output data, as described in:

This notation indicates an SFI:

<xxxx - descriptive name       : data length, data type :  >

where "xxxx" is a character type of mnemonic. In your application program, you need to use the 3-byte or 4-byte hexadecimal identifiers for structured field introducers.

Structured field introducers (SFIs) describes all the structured fields that the DFSMSrmm API can return to your application program.

Structured field introducers by subcommand shows all of the structured field introducers by subcommand.

The DFSMSrmm API does not return information for all subcommands. For example, the DFSMSrmm API does not produce structured fields for a successful ADDBIN subcommand request.
