Output area

The output area is used on command and WRITE requests

Begin program-specific programming interface information. . The first two bytes contain the length of the monitor program's record to write or the Db2 command to be issued, plus 4 additional bytes. The next two bytes are reserved. You can specify any length from 10 to 4096 (X'000A0000' to X'10000000'). The rest of the area is the actual command or record text.

Example: In an assembler program, a START TRACE command is formatted in the following way:

     DC   X'002A0000'       LENGTH INCLUDING LL00 + COMMAND
     DC   CL37'-STA TRACE(MON) DEST(OPX) BUFSIZE(256)'

End program-specific programming interface information.
