RPL fields and RPL-based macroinstructions

z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming
SC27-3674-00

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show all of the VTAM® macroinstructions that allow RPL modifications to be indicated when the macroinstruction is coded. It also shows all of the RPL fields, including the option codes of the OPTCD field, that might be modified by the application program or by VTAM. The symbols in the table indicate, for a given macroinstruction, the RPL fields that are set by VTAM or by the application program. The programmer coding the macroinstruction should be aware of each field's effect by checking the description of that macroinstruction in this chapter. The absence of an A or V means that the contents of that field are ignored by VTAM when that macroinstruction is issued.

Note: When issuing an RPL-based macroinstruction, the value remaining in an RPL field after its last use is reused unless the application program explicitly alters the field. Default values for the operands of RPL-based macroinstructions do not exist. The programmer must ensure that the current contents of each RPL field applicable to this macroinstruction are properly set.

Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 provide detailed information about the SEND, SESSIONC, and RECEIVE macroinstructions for various inputs, outputs, and modes of operation. This figure lists information set in the read-only RPL supplied in exit routines. For further information about exit routines, refer to Using exit routines.

This diagram shows all of the VTAM macroinstructions that allow RPL modifications to be indicated when the macroinstruction is coded. It also shows all of the RPL fields that might be modified by the application program or by VTAM.
