SCLM service descriptions

This section contains information about the services available for SCLM.

Each service description consists of the following information:

Description

A description of the function and operation of the service. This description also refers to other services that you can use with this service.

Each service description shows the formats for:

Command invocation, for use in a CLIST or REXX command procedure or as a TSO command
Call invocation from a program module.

Format

The syntax that you use to code the service, showing both command invocation and call invocation.

Because this chapter shows command and call invocation formats in Pascal, statements are ended with a semicolon (;), which is the Pascal convention. You should use the syntax appropriate for your programming language.

Parameters

A description of any required or optional keywords or parameters.

Return Codes

A description of the codes the service returns. For all services, a return code of 12 or higher implies a severe error. This error is usually a syntax error, but it can be any severe error detected when using the services.

Examples

Sample usage of the service.

FLMLNK requires that the parameters be padded with blanks if the value specified is not as long as the maximum length allowed. Therefore, the examples of call invocations are padded with blanks to the maximum length allowed for each parameter.
