Parameters

Note that there is no rule_array keyword.

For the definitions of the return_code, reason_code, exit_data_length, and exit_data parameters, see Parameters common to all verbs.

version_data_length

Direction:	Input/Output
Type:	Integer

The version_data_length parameter is a pointer to an integer variable containing the number of bytes in the version data variable. This value must be a minimum of 17 bytes. On input, the version_data_length variable must be set to the total size of the variable pointed to by the version_data parameter. On output, this variable contains the number of bytes of data returned by the verb in the version_data variable.

version_data

Direction:	Output
Type:	String

The version_data parameter is a pointer to a string variable containing data returned by the verb. An 8-byte character string identifies the version of the Security Application Program Interface (SAPI) library, followed by an 8-byte character string containing the build date for the SAPI library, followed by a null terminating character. The build date is in the format: yyyymmdd, where yyyy is the year, mm is the month, and dd is the day of the month.

Important: This verb is affected by the environment variable CSU_S390_VERSION, because starting with version 8.4, the CCA host library is shared across IBM Z® and non-Z environments. Read the information provided in Compatibility considerations.
