Name-value pair support (APAR PJ42219)

  

With name-value pair support, you can set, get, and remove a data value in the ECB-unique name-value pair area by using a specified name.

One use of name-value pair support is for user credentials. When a transaction is authorized, you can save the credential as a data value with a predefined user specified name. Later in the life of the ECB, if the credential is needed for further authorization, you can retrieve the credential by using the predefined name.

You can use the following functions to manage name-value pairs:

  • tpf_nameValueLocalSet
  • tpf_nameValueLocalGet
  • tpf_nameValueLocalRemove
