Use IXLLSTE REQUEST=WRITE with ENTRYTYPE=OLD or ENTRYTYPE=ANY to update a list entry. The list entry contents of the area specified by BUFFER or BUFLIST and the adjunct data contained in the area specified by ADJAREA are written to the designated list entry. See Passing Data for a WRITE Request. Upon successful completion of the request, the answer area contains the list entry controls, the number of entries or elements residing on the list, and the total number of allocated entries in the structure.

See Selecting an Entry for Processing by IXLLSTE for a description of the criteria that can be used when determining whether to write a list entry.

See Understanding the Write Operation for basic information about writing a single list entry and Specifying the Type of Write Operation and Specifying the Size of the Data Entry to Hold the Data for information about how the list entry is to be written.
