The ENDEC service allows you to encode or decode SCLM members. This service can be used initially to encode members or decode SCLM members so they can be used in SCLM language translators and external SCLM processes.

Parameters

project

The project name. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMCMD only.

prj_def

The project definition name. It defaults to the project name. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMCMD only.

sclm_id

An SCLM ID associated with a given project and project definition. The INIT service generates the SCLM ID. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMLNK only.

ENCODE

ENCODE specifies that the input data set and member are encoded into the output data set and member. If the input is already encoded the service will receive a return code of 4.

DECODE

DECODE specifies that the input data set and member will be decoded into the output data set and member. If the input is already decoded the service will receive a return code of 4.

in_ddn

DDNAME containing the data set and member to be used as input to the ENDEC service. If specified, the in_group and in_type parameters should not be specified. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

in_group

The group to be used to determine the data set to be used as input to the ENDEC service. If specified, the in_type and in_member parameter should also be specified. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

in_type

The type to be used to determine the data set to be used as input to the ENDEC service. If specified, the in_group and in_member parameter should also be specified. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

in_member

The member under SCLM control to be used as input to the ENDEC service.The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

out_ddn

DDNAME containing the data set and member to be used as output to the ENDEC service. If specified, the out_group and out_type parameters are not specified. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

out_group

The group to be used to determine the data set to be used as output to the ENDEC service. If specified, the out_type and out_member parameter are also specified. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

out_type

The type to be used to determine the data set to be used as output to the ENDEC service. If specified, the out_group and out_member parameter is also specified. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

out_member

The member under SCLM control that is used as output to the ENDEC service. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters.

dd_msgs

The ddname indicating the destination of the messages generated by the ENDEC service. If you specify a blank ddname, SCLM routes the ENDEC messages to the default output device, such as your terminal. Otherwise, before you call the ENDEC service, you must allocate the ddname. These attributes should be used; RECFM=F, :REC:=80, BLKSIZE=80. The maximum parameter length is 8 characters. This parameter is used for FLMCMD only.

$msg_array

An output parameter pointing to the message array. See "Pointer parameter descriptions" on page 333 for more information about $msg_array. This parameter is used for FLMLNK only.

Return codes

Additional special services messages are written to the FLMMSGS ddname. See SCLM service messages for more information.

Other return codes might be produced by the FLMCMD or the FLMLNK processor. See SCLM service return codes for more information.
