Sample programs that use GIMAPI

This topic contains three sample programs that use GIMAPI. Each program does the same basic function, where differences are mostly due to the syntax of the languages involved.
Note: In addition to the programs documented here, SYS1.SAMPLIB provides other sample programs that use GIMAPI, such as GIMCRSAM and GIMPRSAM.
Each program follows these steps:
  1. The query described in Example of QUERY command is set up to be invoked. The global CSI data set used is 'SMP.VSAM.CSI'.
  2. GIMAPI is called with the QUERY command to retrieve the data.
  3. If the query is successful, it calls a generic result print function that prints the data retrieved from any query.
  4. Once these are done, the storage is freed by calling GIMAPI with the FREE command.
The following is an example of the output of the sample programs:
