ATTRIBUTES data type

An ATTRIBUTES data type indicates that the data is an array of attributes. The attributes data header is mapped by the TFMT_TDATTRIBS section of the IEWTFMT macro. The map is described in Table 1.

The attributes are the program attributes that have been set by the binder as options. Specifically, they are: AC, AMODE, PAGE, DC, EDIT, EP, EXEC, FETCHOPT, OL, REUS, RMODE, SCTR, SSI, and TEST. The program attributes have the same names and values as the binder options, as described in Setting options with the regular binder API, except for the following:

The EP value is an entry point offset.
The EXEC attribute indicates if the program is executable. The values are YES or NO.
The PAGE attribute indicates if page alignment is performed for this program. The values are YES or NO.

Table 1. Transportable program attributes data header
Name	Description
TFMT_TDATTRIBS	DSECT		Maps the attributes data header
TFMT_TDATTRIBS_EYE	DS	CL8	Data record identifier. Contains string 'IEWTATTR'.
TFMT_TDATTRIBS_LVL	DS	FL1	Level number: 1
TFMT_TDATTRIBS_RS1	DS	CL3	Reserved
TFMT_TDATTRIBS_LEN	DS	FL4	Attribute data record length including the varying data
TFMT_TDATTRIBS_DLEN	DS	FL4	Length of the varying attributes data
TFMT_TDATTRIBS_OFF	DS	FL2	Offset to the attributes varying data. The offset is relative to the beginning of TFMT_TDATTRIBS.
TFMT_TDATTIBS_RS2	DS	FL2	Reserved
Note: The attributes data is stored immediately after the attributes data header. The varying attributes data has this format: `ATTRIBUTES_COUNT(how many in array) (4 bytes) ATTRIBUTES_ARRAY ATTRIBUTE_NAME (8 bytes) ATTRIBUTE_LENGTH (2 bytes) ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_OFFSET (2 bytes) The offset is relative to the beginning of this attributes array. The attribute value has a length of ATTRIBUTE_LENGTH. ACTUAL VARYING VALUES (saved contiguously to previous structure)` The linear format of this data is: `ATTRIBUTES_COUNT (N) + ATTRIBUTE_NAME(1) + ATTRIBUTE_LENGTH(1) + OFFSET(1) + ATTRIBUTE_NAME(2) + ATTRIBUTE_LENGTH(2) + OFFSET(2) + ... ATTRIBUTE_NAME(N) + ATTRIBUTE_LENGTH(N) + OFFSET(N) + ACTUAL ATTRIBUTE VALUE(1) + ACTUAL ATTRIBUTE VALUE(2) + ... ACTUAL ATTRIBUTE VALUE(N).`
