EPDE - Event Processing Descriptor

  
  
  
  CONTROL BLOCK NAME = DFHEPDEC
  
  FUNCTION
  
  The EPDE is a definition of the DFHEP.DESCRIPTOR container that
  describes the data captured for a CICS EVENT and the formatting
  attributes specified for the event data.
  
  A CICS EVENT object consists of the following containers named
  DFHEP.xxxxx
  
  ADAPTER
  A container for the EPAdapter configuration.
  ADAPTPARM
  A container for the EPAdapter invocation parms.
  CONTEXT
  A container for the contextual data common to all events.
  DESCRIPTOR
  A container describing the list of capture data items.
  DFHEP.CHAR.nnnnn
  A container for each captured data item where nnnnn is a 5
  decimal digit sequence number that indicates the ordering of the
  captured data starting at '00001'. These containers contain the
  capture data in a printable form formatted as requested when
  defining the Emitted Business Information in the Event Binding
  editor.
  DFHEP.DATA.nnnnn
  A container for each captured data item where nnnnn is a 5
  decimal digit sequence number that indicates the ordering of the
  captured data starting at '00001'. These containers contain the
  raw unformatted capture data.
  
  The DESCRIPTOR is created from the XML definition of an event
  which is, normally, created using the CICS event binding editor
  and installed into CICS via a BUNDLE.
  
  Each CICS event object passed to an EP adapter contains a
  DFHEP.DESCRIPTOR container. This container has a prefix and an
  array of item definitions, one per data item captured, so that the
  DFHEP.DATA.nnnnn container will hold the data corresponding to the
  nth item in the EPDE_Item array.
  
  Each item in the DESCRIPTOR array defines the type of the source
  data captured and the required length and type of that data
  when/if it is formatted. The source data type is given in field
  EPDE_DataType and can take any of the following values:
  
  PACKED
  Packed decimal.
  ZONED
  Zoned decimal.
  HEX
  Hexadecimal.
  UHWORD
  Unsigned halfword.
  UFWORD
  Unsigned fullword.
  SHWORD
  Signed halfword.
  SFWORD
  Signed fullword.
  CHAR
  Character.
  HEXFLOAT
  Hexadecimal floating point (HFP).
  BINFLOAT
  Binary floating point (BFP).
  DECFLOAT
  Decimal floating point (DFP).
  HEXZ
  Null terminated hexadecimal.
  CHARZ
  Null terminated character. :edl
  
  Notes:
  
  - The sign in zoned decimal data captured from COBOL programs
  may be leading or trailing, and either separate or included in
  the numeric data.
  
  - We distinguish between CHAR and CHARZ, HEX and HEXZ for
  information only. The data captured does not include the
  terminating null.
  
  The captured data will be exactly as found in the source data.
  Its length can be derived from the length of the data container.
  Whatever data is available up to the length specified in the
  capture data item spec will be captured. If the capture data is
  not available then the corresponding DFHEP.DATA and DFHEP.CHAR
  containers will not be created.
