ISSUE ADD

Description

ISSUE ADD adds records to a sequential or keyed direct data set in an outboard controller. The FROM option is used to specify the data to be written, and the LENGTH option specifies its length.

The RIDFLD option is only needed with this command when it applies to a DPCX/DXAM data set. In this case, it specifies the relative record number of the record to be added. When RIDFLD is used, NUMREC must be 1 (the default).

Options

DEFRESP

specifies that all terminal control commands issued as a result of the ISSUE ADD command are to request a definite response from the outboard batch program, irrespective of the specification of message integrity for the CICS® task (by the system programmer).

DESTID(data-value)

specifies the name (1–8 characters) of the data set in the outboard destination.

DESTIDLENG(data-value)

specifies the length (halfword binary value) of the name specified in the DESTID option.

FROM(data-area)

specifies the data to be written to the data set.

LENGTH(data-value)

specifies the length (halfword binary value) of the data to be written. For a description of a safe upper limit, see LENGTH options in CICS commands.

NOWAIT

specifies that the CICS task continues processing without waiting for the ISSUE ADD command to complete. If this option is not specified, the task activity is suspended until the command is completed.

NUMREC(data-value)

for a relative record data set, specifies as a halfword binary value the number of logical records to be added. Records are replaced sequentially starting with the one identified by the RIDFLD option.

For an indexed data set, NUMREC cannot be specified because only one record can be added.

RIDFLD(data-area)

specifies, for a relative record data set, a 4-character field as the relative record number (starting from zero) of the record. The RRN option is also required.

For a keyed direct data set, RIDFLD should specify a key.

RRN

specifies that the record identification field specified in the RIDFLD option contains a relative record number. This option is required for a relative record data set.

VOLUME(data-value)

specifies the name (1–6 characters) of a diskette in an outboard destination that contains the data set specified in the DESTID option.

VOLUMELENG(data-value)

specifies the length (halfword binary value) of the name specified in the VOLUME option.

Conditions

48 FUNCERR

occurs if there is an error during execution of the command. Destination selection is unaffected and other commands for the same destination may be successful.

Default action: terminate the task abnormally.

16 INVREQ

RESP2 values:

200

A distributed program link server application specified the function-shipping session (its principal facility) on the CONVID option.

47 SELNERR

occurs if there is an error during destination selection. The destination is not selected and other commands for the same destination are unlikely to be successful.

Default action: terminate the task abnormally.

49 UNEXPIN

occurs when some unexpected or unrecognized information is received from the outboard controller.

Default action: terminate the task abnormally.
