CB=
Specifies the control block type (cb-type) as follows:
Common storage control blocks:
ASCB
Address space control block
ASSB
Address space secondary block
CADDR
Common address routine table
FSSCB
Functional subsystem control block
HASB
HASP address space block
HAVT
HASP address vector table
HCCT
HASP common communications table
PCT
Path Manager Control Table
UCADDR
User's common address routine table (CSA)
Private storage control blocks:
ASXB
Address space extension block
FSCT(JES)
Functional subsystem control table
FSVT
Functional subsystem vector table
HASXB
HASP address space extension block
HCT
HASP control table
HFCT
HASP functional subsystem communication table
PADDR
Private address routine table
SSIB
Subsystem information block
SSICLLR
Subsystem interface caller's save area
SSOB
Subsystem options block
TRE
TCB recovery element
UPADDR
User's private address routine table
Note: Not all control blocks are accessible from all address spaces. $GETADDR issues a warning message (if WARN=YES is specified) if you request a control block that cannot be accessed.
ASID=
Specifies a half-word field, or a register that contains, the address space ID (ASID) where the control block resides. If this ASID is different from the current address space, you can request only common storage area-resident (CSA) control blocks. ASID= defaults to the current ASID.
RX=
Specifies the register which is to contain the requested control block address following $GETADDR processing. Register 0 should not be used.
WORKREG=
Specifies a register (R1-R15) that $GETADDR can use for work. You can specify a null value (WORKREG=,); however, if $GETADDR requires a work register, you will receive assembly errors. This keyword is optional; register 15 is used if a register is needed. On return to the caller, the contents of register 15 (or the specified register) will be unpredictable. Register 0 should not be used.
POINTER=
YES indicates that the address of a 4-byte pointer to the control block is to be returned to the caller in the register specified by RX=.

NO will cause the address of the control block to be returned to the caller in the register specified by RX=.

ERRET=
Specifies a label or register that contains the address of the routine that receives control if this macro processing was unable to obtain the requested control block address. The ERRET= specification does not apply to ASCB, ASXB, CADDR, HASB, HASXB, HAVT, HCCT, and UCADDR control block types. If you do not specify ERRET= and $GETADDR is unsuccessful the register specified by RX= will contain a zero on return.
WARN=
Specifies whether (YES) or not (NO) JES2 will issue messages noting that a particular control block cannot be accessed from the current environment. WARN=YES is the default.
SETAR=YES|NO|TEST
Specifies whether the access register associated with the RX parameter should be set as well as the general purpose register. The default is SETAR=TEST.

Environment

  • All environments.
  • $WAIT can occur.
  • Callers in AR ASC mode are supported.
