        01  OUT-BUFFER   PIC X(length of output).

         CALL 'EZACIC15' USING OUT-BUFFER LENGTH.         IF RETURN-CODE > 0
            THEN
            DISPLAY 'TRANSLATION FAILED ' RETURN-CODE.

For equivalent PL/I and assembly language declarations, see Converting parameter descriptions.

OUT-BUFFER

A buffer that contains the following infomation:

When called, ASCII data
Upon return, EBCDIC data

LENGTH

Specifies the length of the data to be translated.

RETURN-CODE

Upon return, register 15 contains a return code value, which indicates if the data translation occurred successfully. The return code can be one of the following values:

0: The data translation occurred.
8: Too many parameters passed, translation did not occur.
12: Zero buffer length passed, translation did not occur.
16: Zero buffer address passed, translation did not occur.
