Retrieving segments using field-level sensitivity

When you retrieve segments using field-level sensitivity, you should be aware of the following information.

• Gaps between fields in the I/O area are set to blanks on a retrieve call.
• If an application program uses a field in an SSA, that field must be coded on a SENFLD statement. This rule does not apply to sequence fields used in an SSA on retrieve operations.

The following figure shows an example of a retrieve call based on the DBD and PSB in How to specify use of field-level sensitivity in the DBD and PSB.
