Evaluation of Symbolic Pointers report
This report contains the evaluation result of symbolic pointer and its target segments.
This report is produced when SYMLPCHK=YES, SYMIXCHK=YES, or both options are specified on the PROC statement and when the databases have symbolic pointers to be checked.

TOTAL 12Report field description
- DBNAME DB# DDNAME DSG# DSNAME DBORG
- The name of the DBD, the database number (in hexadecimal), the data set group number (in hexadecimal), the name of data set, and the database organization type
- ERROR MESSAGE
- The error message that is generated and detected during the symbolic pointer evaluation process. If no message number is printed in the field, this line is part of the preceding message.
- TP
- The type of record that is printed on this line. The HD Pointer Checker classifies its work records into types (T1, T3, and so on).
- TARGET
- This is information about the pointer target of the symbolic pointer.
It consists of four items:
- DB
- The database number (in hexadecimal) that identifies the database that contains the target segment
- DG
- The data set group number (in hexadecimal) that identifies the database that contains the target segment
- SC
- The segment code (in hexadecimal) of the target segment
- SEGNAME
- The segment name of the target segment
- SOURCE
- The segment that contains the symbolic pointer (also called the
source of the symbolic pointer). It consists of the following items:
- DB
- The database number (in hexadecimal) that identifies the database that contains the source segment
- DG
- The data set group number (in hexadecimal) that identifies the database that contains the source segment
- SC
- The segment code (in hexadecimal) of the source segment
- SEGNAME
- The segment name of the source segment
- RBA
- The RBA (in hexadecimal) of the index segment
- PTR TYPE
- The type of symbolic pointer. The type can be either of the following values:
- LP
- Logical parent
- SX
- Secondary index
- SYMBOLIC POINTER VALUE
- The symbolic pointer value (in hexadecimal or character)
- TOTALS
- The error or information message issued during the symbolic pointer evaluation process. The number of messages issued is also shown.
