To receive PIP or DCE data that accompanies the FMH-5, the application program must either specify QUALIFY=DATQUE on the RCVFMH5 or issue a separate APPCCMD CONTROL=RECEIVE. GDS data included with the FMH-5 is not received by an APPCCMD CONTROL=RCVFMH5, QUALIFY=NULL|QUEUE. (VTAM® treats PIP and DCE data as a separate logical record.)

Receiving the GDS data is no different than receiving any other logical record. Once the GDS data is received, the application program must extract the data from the GDS variable's subfields. (See Logical records versus buffers for information on receiving logical records.)
