The Open List of Activation Attributes (QWVOLACT) API generates a list of all the activation attributes that are associated with an activation group in a given job. The QWVOLACT API places the list into a receiver variable. You can access additional records by using the Get List Entries (QGYGTLE) API. On successful completion of the QWVOLACT API, a handle is returned in the list information parameter. You may use this handle on subsequent calls to the following APIs:
The records returned by QWVOLACT include an information status field that describes the completeness and validity of the information. Be sure to check the information status field before using any other information returned.
For additional information about these authorities, see the Security reference topic collection.
The variable that is used to return the activation attributes that you requested.
The length of the receiver variable.
Information about the list of activation attributes that were opened. For a description of the layout of this parameter, see Open list information format.
The number of records in the list to put into the receiver variable.
The format of the information to be returned in the receiver variable. You must use the following format name:
| RACT0100 | This format is described in RACT0100 Format. |
The number of the activation group that will be used to locate the activations whose attributes are to be returned. You can use these special values for the activation group number:
| -1 | The activation attributes for all activation groups are returned. |
| -2 | Retrieve the activation group number from the optional '64 bit activation group number' parameter. |
The job name, the job user profile, and the job number of the job for which you want to return activation attributes.
| CHAR 1-10 | The job name |
| CHAR 11-20 | The user profile |
| CHAR 21-26 | The job number |
You can use these special values for the qualified job name:
| * | The job in which this program is running. The rest of the qualified job name parameter must be blank. |
| *INT | The internal job identifier locates the job. The rest of the qualified job name parameter must be blank. |
The internal name for the job. The List Job (QUSLJOB) API creates this identifier. If you do not specify *INT for the qualified job name parameter, this parameter must contain blanks.
If your application already has this information available from the QUSLJOB API, the QWVOLACT API can locate the job more quickly with this information than with a job name. However, if you call QUSLJOB solely to obtain this parameter for use by QWVOLACT, you would get poorer performance than by using a job name in calling QWVOLACT.
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error code parameter.
The number of the activation group that will be used to locate the activations whose attributes are to be returned. This parameter will only be honored if -2 is specified for the required activation group parameter. Unlike the activation group parameter, this parameter has no special values.
The following table shows the information returned in each record in the receiver variable for the RACT0100 format. For a detailed description of each field, see Field Descriptions.

Activation number. The activation number of the activation listed. This is the last 32 bits of a 64 bit internal number that uniquely identifies the activation within the job. The full 64 bit value can be retrieved using the "Activation number long" field.
Activation number long. The 64 bit activation number of the activation listed. This is an internal number that uniquely identifies the activation within the job.
Activation group name. The name of the activation group that contains the attributes listed. Possible values follow:
| *DFTACTGRP | The activation group is one of the default activation groups. |
| *UNNAMED | The activation group does not have a name. |
Activation group number. The activation group number of the activation group listed. This is the last 32 bits of a 64 bit internal number that uniquely identifies the activation group within the job. The full 64 bit value can be retrieved using the "Activation group number long" field.
Activation group number long. The 64 bit activation group number of the activation group listed. This is an internal number that uniquely identifies the activation group within the job.
Program library. The name of the library that contains the program that this activation is for. Possible values follow:
| *N | The program no longer exists in the system. |
Program name. The name of the program that this activation is for. Possible values follow:
| *N | The program no longer exists in the system. |
Program type. The type of call that this activation is for. Possible values follow:
| 0 | The type was a program or *PGM. |
| 1 | The type was a service program or *SRVPGM. |
Reserved. An ignored field.
Static storage size. The total amount of static storage allocated to the activation in bytes.
