After making changes in a window to a temporary object, you can
update the object with those changes. You must identify the object
and must specify the range of blocks that you want to update. To be
updated, a block must be mapped to a window and must contain changes
in the window. Window services replaces each block within the specified
range with the corresponding changed block from a window.
To update a temporary object, call CSRSCOT. To identify the
object, you must supply an object identifier for object_id.
The value you supply for object_id must be the same value
CSRIDAC returned in object_id when you requested access
to the object.
To identify the blocks in the object that you want to update, use
offset and
span.
The values assigned to
offset and
span, together,
define a contiguous string of blocks in the object:
- The value assigned to offset specifies the relative block
at which to start. An offset of 0 means the first block; a offset
of 1 means the second block; an offset of 2 means the third block,
and so forth.
- The value assigned to span specifies the number of blocks
to save. A span of 1 means one block; a span of 2 means two blocks,
and so forth. A span of 0 has special meaning: it requests
that window services update all changed blocks to which a window is
mapped.
Window services replaces each block within the range specified
by
offset and
span providing the block has changed
and a window is mapped to the block.
