Required Parameter Group

Receiver variable
OUTPUT; CHAR(*)

The receiver variable that receives the information requested. You can specify the size of the area to be smaller than the format requested as long as you specify the length parameter correctly. As a result, the API returns only the data that the area can hold. For more information about the format of the data returned in the receiver variable, see Certificate Format CERT0100 (ASN.1) and Certificate Format CERT0200 (Plain Text).

Length of receiver variable
INPUT; BINARY(4)

The length of the receiver variable provided. The length of receiver variable parameter may be specified up to the size of the receiver variable specified in the user program. If the length of receiver variable parameter specified is larger than the allocated size of the receiver variable specified in the user program, the results are not predictable. For formats that contain variable length data, the receiver variable length must be large enough to hold the fixed portion of the record.

List information
OUTPUT; CHAR(80)

The variable that is used to return status information about the list of user certificates that were opened. See Format of List Information for a description of this parameter.

Number of records to return
INPUT; BINARY(4)

The number of records containing a user certificate to return. The value -1 indicates that all the records containing user certificates should be returned.

Format name
INPUT; CHAR(8)

The name of the format that is used to list user certificates.

The possible format names are:

CERT0100 Certificates in ASN.1 format in ASCII encoding.
CERT0200 Certificates in plain text format. Character fields are encoded in the job CCSID.

User name
INPUT; CHAR(10)

The name of the user profile.

The following is a valid selection:

*CURRENT The user profile that is currently running.

Error code
I/O; CHAR(*)

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


Format of List Information

Offset Type Field
Dec Hex
0 0 BINARY(4) Total records
4 4 BINARY(4) Records returned
8 8 CHAR(4) Request handle
16 10 CHAR(1) Information complete indicator
17 11 CHAR(13) Date and time created
30 1E CHAR(1) List status indicator
31 1F CHAR(1) Reserved
32 20 BINARY(4) Length of information returned
36 24 BINARY(4) First record in buffer
44 2C CHAR(36) Reserved


Field Descriptions

Date and time created. The date and time when the list was created.

The 13 characters are:

1 Century, where 0 indicates years 19xx and 1 indicates years 20xx.
2-7 The date, in YYMMDD (year, month, and day) format.
8-13 The time of day, in HHMMSS (hours, minutes, and seconds) format.

First record in buffer. The number of the first record in the receiver variable.

Information complete indicator. Whether all requested information has been supplied.

Possible values follow:

I Incomplete information. An interruption causes the list to contain incomplete information about a buffer or buffers.
P Partial and accurate information. Partial information is returned when the maximum space was used and not all of the buffers requested were read.
C Complete and accurate information. All the buffers requested are read and returned.

Length of information returned. The size, in bytes, of the information that is returned in the receiver variable.

List status indicator. The status of building the list.

The possible value follows:

2 The list has been completely built.

Records returned. The number of records returned in the receiver variable. This is the smallest of the following three values:

Request handle. The handle of the request that can be used for subsequent requests of information from the list. The handle is valid until the Close List (QGYCLST) API is called to close the list, or until the job ends.

Note: This field should be treated as a hexadecimal field. It should not be converted from one CCSID to another, for example, EBCDIC to ASCII, because doing so could result in an unusable value.

Reserved. An ignored field.

Total records. The total number of records available in the list.
