IFCID area
You must specify the IFCID area on READS and WRITE requests.
The IFCID area contains the IFCIDs to process. The following
table
shows the IFCID area.
| Hex Offset | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Signed two-byte integer | Length of the IFCID area, plus
4. The length can range from X'0006' to X'0044'.
For WRITE
requests, only one IFCID is allowed, so the length must be set to X'0006'.
For READS requests, you can specify multiple IFCIDs. If so, you must be aware that the returned records can be in a different sequence than requested and some records can be missing. |
| 2 | Signed two-byte integer | Reserved. |
| 4 | Hex, n fields of 2 bytes each | The IFCIDs to be processed. Each IFCID is placed contiguous to the previous IFCID for a READS request. The IFCIDs start at X'0000' and progress upward. You can use X'FFFF' to signify the last IFCID in the area to process. |
