Parameters
The parameters are explained as follows:
- name
- An optional symbol, starting in column 1, that is the name on
the IWMPACT macro invocation. The name must conform to the rules for
an ordinary assembler language symbol.
- ,MF=S
- ,MF=(L,list
addr)
- ,MF=(L,list addr,attr)
- ,MF=(L,list
addr,0D)
- ,MF=(E,list addr)
- ,MF=(E,list addr,COMPLETE)
- An optional input parameter that specifies the macro form.
Use
MF=S to specify the standard form of the macro, which builds an inline
parameter list and generates the macro invocation to transfer control
to the service. MF=S is the default.
Use MF=L to specify the
list form of the macro. Use the list form together with the execute
form of the macro for applications that require reentrant code. The
list form defines an area of storage that the execute form uses to
store the parameters. Only the PLISTVER parameter may be coded with
the list form of the macro.
Use MF=E to specify the execute
form of the macro. Use the execute form together with the list form
of the macro for applications that require reentrant code. The execute
form of the macro stores the parameters into the storage area defined
by the list form, and generates the macro invocation to transfer control
to the service.
- ,list addr
- The name of a storage area to contain the parameters. For MF=S
and MF=E, this can be an RS-type address or an address in register
(1)-(12).
- ,attr
- An optional 1- to 60-character input string that you use to
force boundary alignment of the parameter list. Use a value of 0F
to force the parameter list to a word boundary, or 0D to force the
parameter list to a doubleword boundary. If you do not code attr,
the system provides a value of 0D.
- ,COMPLETE
- Specifies that the system is to check for required parameters
and supply defaults for omitted optional parameters.
- ,PLISTVER=IMPLIED_VERSION
- ,PLISTVER=MAX
- ,PLISTVER=0
- An optional input parameter that specifies the version of the
macro. PLISTVER determines which parameter list the system generates.
PLISTVER is an optional input parameter on all forms of the macro,
including the list form. When using PLISTVER, specify it on all macro
forms used for a request and with the same value on all of the macro
forms. The values are:
- IMPLIED_VERSION, which is the lowest
version that allows all parameters specified on the request to be
processed. If you omit the PLISTVER parameter, IMPLIED_VERSION
is the default.
- MAX, if you want the parameter list to be
the largest size currently possible. This size might grow from release
to release and affect the amount of storage that your program needs.
If
you can tolerate the size change, IBM® recommends
that you always specify PLISTVER=MAX on the list form of the macro.
Specifying MAX ensures that the list-form parameter list is always
long enough to hold all the parameters you might specify on the execute
form; in this way, MAX ensures that the parameter list does not overwrite
nearby storage.
- 0, if you use the currently available parameters.
To code: Specify one of the following:
- IMPLIED_VERSION
- MAX
- A decimal value of 0
- POLICY_NAME=policy_name
- A required input parameter, variable specifying the name of
the service policy to be activated. The specified service policy
must exist in the current service definition that is installed on
the WLM couple data set.
To code: Specify
the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of an 8-character
field.
- ,RETCODE=retcode
- An optional output parameter into which the return code is to
be copied from GPR 15.
To code: Specify the
RS-type address of a fullword field, or register (2)-(12).
- ,RSNCODE=rsncode
- An optional output parameter into which the reason code is to
be copied from GPR 0.
To code: Specify the
RS-type address of a fullword field, or register (2)-(12).
- ,SYSTEM_NAME=system_name
- An optional output parameter, variable where the name of the
system where another policy activation is taking place will be returned.
This variable is only filled in when a return code of 4 and a reason
code of xxxx0415 is returned.
To code: Specify
the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of an 8-character
field.
