Required Parameter Group

Receiver variable
I/O; CHAR(*)

The structure in which to return information about the availability status of the system specified. For the format of this parameter, see BLKO0100 Format.

Length of receiver variable
INPUT; BINARY(4)

The number of bytes that the calling program provides for the receiver variable.

Receiver variable format
INPUT; CHAR(8)

The format of the receiver variable being used. The possible value is:

BLKO0100 Basic structure
EDRS server system name
INPUT; CHAR(256)

The name of the database server system to check.

Job-suspension user data
INPUT; CHAR(*)

The data to associate with a job or a system that is used to determine which jobs on the client system should be blocked. If no job-suspension user data is supplied, a status of QXDA_BLOCKED will be returned if at least one system has this status. In that case, QXDA_UNBLOCKED will only be returned if all matching systems have this status.

Length of job-suspension user data
INPUT; BINARY(4)

The length of the job-suspension user data supplied.

Error code
I/O; CHAR(*)

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

272 110 BINARY(4) Length of job-suspension user data


CHAR(*) Job-suspension user data


Field Descriptions

Backup server system name. The name of the system that is acting as the backup server system. This value is set to blanks if the EDRS system is not blocked or switched.

Bytes available. The length of the information available to the API to return, in bytes.

Bytes returned. The actual number of bytes returned to the caller of the API.

EDRS server status. The status of the server system. The possible values are:

0 QXDA_UNBLOCKED: The EDRS system is not blocked.
1 QXDA_BLOCKED: The EDRS server system is blocked.
2 QXDA_SWITCHED: The backup system is acting as the EDRS server.

Job-suspension user data. The data associated with the block.

Length of job-suspension user data. The length of the job-suspension user data returned.

Offset to job-suspension user data. The offset from the beginning of the receiver variable to the the job-suspension user data, in bytes.
