Before using the IXLRT service, you must identify your connection to the system through the IXLCONN service. On successful completion of the IXLCONN service, you receive a sysplex-wide unique CONNECT token. This token identifies your connection to the lock structure. The connect token must be specified on every IXLRT request to ensure that you are allowed access to the designated record data structure.

The caller's parameter list must be addressable from the unit of work issuing the request.

The IXLYMRTD macro provides the format of the area that the DATAREA points to. Include that macro in your program.

The IXLYRTAA mapping macro provides the format of the area that the ANSAREA points to. Include that macro in your program.
