This topic is specifically for users of the IEWBIND and IEWBUFF macros. It includes a complete description of the use of IEWBUFF, as well as supplemental material on the IEWBIND macro. If you are calling the binder API from languages other than assembler or IBM's internal PL/X, you must follow the instructions presented in Invoking the binder without the macros together with the IEWBIND interface parameter details given in IEWBIND function reference.
This section describes how to use the IEWBUFF macro to generate and initialize buffers and to obtain and release the necessary storage. The record layouts for each buffer type are illustrated in Binder API buffer formats.
