The Input Parameter List

SA32-0973-00

Use the IKJEFFMT macro to map the input parameter list for IKJEFF02. This parameter list identifies the message which is to be issued, describes inserts, if any, for the message, and indicates to IKJEFF02 whether to issue the message using PUTLINE, PUTGET, WTO or WTP. The parameter list also indicates to IKJEFF02 whether the message is to be provided in the language specified in the UPT, and contains the address of a CSECT that contains the text of the message.

This mapping macro allows you to request the standard format, which is the default, or the extended format of the parameter list. The extended format must be used if the message inserts or the extract buffers being passed to IKJEFF02 reside above 16 MB in virtual storage. If they reside below 16 MB, you do not need to use the extended format. However, all 31-bit addresses must be valid; that is the high-order bit must be zero. Your Command Processor must set the MTFMT bit in the input parameter list to reflect the format of the parameter list you are using.

The IKJEFFMT macro, which is provided in SYS1.MACLIB, has several options that your Command Processor can specify:
  • Use the MTDSECT=YES option to map the MTDSECTD DSECT, instead of obtaining storage. MTDSECT=NO is the default.
  • Use the MTFORMAT=NEW option to request the extended format; specify MTFORMAT=OLD to request the standard format. MTFORMAT=OLD is the default.
  • The MTNINST option specifies the number of entries to be inserted into the message that IKJEFF02 issues.
