GETIX—Retrieve an index record

z/OS DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets
SC23-6852-02

The format of the GETIX macro is:

label
specifies 1 to 8 characters that provide a symbolic address for the GETIX macro.
RPL=address
specifies the address of the request parameter list that defines this GETIX request. You may specify the address in register notation (using a register from 1 through 12, enclosed in parentheses) or specify it with an expression that generates a valid relocatable A-type address constant.
The following RPL parameters and subparameters are required for GETIX:
OPTCD=(CNV
,DIR
,{NUP|UPD|NSP}
,{LOC|MVE})

GETIX can be issued either for update or not for update; OPTCD=NSP is interpreted as OPTCD=NUP.

With OPTCD=MVE, AREALEN must be at least index control interval size.

ARG=address
The search argument for GETIX is the RBA of a control interval.
To process the index of a key-sequenced data set with GETIX, you must open the cluster with:
ACB MACRF=(CNV,...)
