Fields

Table 2. Fields in EVCSDATA views
Field Attribute name Description
Capture specification name CAPTURESPEC Specifies the name of the associated capture specification. The name can be up to 32 characters in length.
Container name CONTAINER Specifies a data area to receive the name of the container which contains the data if the LOCATION equals CHANNEL or FROMCHANNEL.
Event binding name EVENTBINDING Specifies the name of the associated event binding. The name can be up to 32 characters in length.
Field length FIELDLENGTH Specifies the length of data to be tested for this predicate.
The data offset within the data source FIELDOFFSET Specifies the data offset within the data source this predicate is found at.
Language structure file name FILENAME Specifies a data area to receive the first 32 characters of the name of the file which contains the imported language structure used to define this predicate.
Application data predicate value FILTERVALUE Specifies a 255-character data area to receive the value of the Application Data predicate. Non-character predicates are converted to their character representation.
Location of the data LOCATION Specifies a data area to receive the location of data to be tested.
Comparative operator for this predicate OPERATOR Returns a CVDA that defines the operator that is used together with the value in the FILTERVALUE option when evaluating the predicate. The available CVDA values are as follows:
  • DOESNOTEQUAL
    • This predicate evaluates true if the value of the data item defined by LOCATION, FIELDOFFSET and FIELDLENGTH does not equal FILTERVALUE.
  • DOESNOTEXIST
    • This data predicate evaluates true if the data source identified by LOCATION does not exist.
  • DOESNOTSTART
    • The predicate evaluates true if the value of the data item defined by LOCATION, FIELDOFFSET and FIELDLENGTH does not start with FILTERVALUE.
  • EQUALS
    • The predicate evaluates true f the value of the data item defined by LOCATION, FIELDOFFSET and FIELDLENGTH equals FILTERVALUE.
  • EXISTS
    • This data predicate evaluates true if the data source identified by LOCATION exists.
  • GREATERTHAN
    • The predicate evaluates true if the value of the data item defined by LOCATION, FIELDOFFSET and FIELDLENGTH is greater than FILTERVALUE.
  • ISNOTGREATER
    • The predicate evaluates true if the value of the data item defined by LOCATION, FIELDOFFSET and FIELDLENGTH is equal to or less than FILTERVALUE.
  • ISNOTLESS
    • The predicate evaluates true if the value of the data item defined by LOCATION, FIELDOFFSET and FIELDLENGTH is equal to or greater than FILTERVALUE.
  • LESSTHAN
    • The predicate evaluates true if the value of the data item defined by LOCATION, FIELDOFFSET and FIELDLENGTH is less than FILTERVALUE.
  • STARTSWITH
    • The predicate evaluates true if the value of the data item defined by LOCATION, FIELDOFFSET and FIELDLENGTH starts with FILTERVALUE.
Browse sequence number SEQNUMBER This number identifies the order in which the predicate resource was returned when using the EXEC CICS INQUIRE NEXT interface.
Language structure name STRUCTNAME Specifies a data area to receive the first 32 characters of the name of the imported language structure used to define this predicate.
Language structure variable name VARIABLENAME Specifies a data area to receive the first 32 characters of the name of the variable in the imported language structure.
