The Add Associated Space Entry (QbnAddAssociatedSpaceEntry) API may be used by a compiler preprocessor to put data into the associated space of the created module. Start of changeThis data will be copied into the ILE bound program or ILE service program into which the module is bound and is available for use when the program is running. The QbnRetrieveAssociatedSpace API is used to retrieve this data from an ILE program or service program.End of change

Required Parameter Group

Associated space identifier
INPUT; CHAR(10)

The associated space identifier has the following special value:

Start of change *USERDATAEnd of change Identifies the type of data being stored in the created module. The special value must be left-justified and padded with blanks.

Associated space entry data
INPUT; CHAR(*)

The data to be placed into the associated space of the created module. The format of this data is specified by the user.

Length of associated space entry data
INPUT; BINARY(4)

The length of the data contained in the associated space entry data parameter.

Options
INPUT; CHAR(1)

You must specify one of the following special values. If more than one associated space entry is defined as extendable during preprocessing, the module will not be created. If DB2® for IBM® i SQL statements are contained in the input source file, option 2 cannot be specified.

1 The associated space entry will not be extendable.
2 The associated space entry can be extended. The associated space expands as data is stored in the associated space using QbnAddAssociatedSpaceEntry API.

Error code
I/O; CHAR(*)

The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error code parameter.
