This topic describes the application program call to the z/OS System Data Mover (SDM) application programming interface (API).
The environment, programming requirements, common invocation parameters, input and output register information are summarized, followed by the macro syntax and individual parameter descriptions. An example of the ANTRQST and ANTRQSTL macros in assembler follows the descriptions of the associated return and reason codes.
This topic also contains a description of the ANTQFRVL macro (for more information, see ANTQFRVL macro).
Every effort has been made to provide you with the most accurate and current information for the ANTRQST and ANTRQSTL macros at the time of availability. To stay informed about the latest functional changes and additions, refer to the extensive documentation at the top of the latest copy of these macros. Each copy of the ANTRQST and ANTRQSTL macros contain the corresponding documentation for that release level.
This information is edited for clarity, and descriptions might not match the wording in the ANTRQST and ANTRQSTL macros.
For a information on using the REXX programming language to invoke ANTRQST, see REXX support for the ANTRQST API.

Table 1 shows how various z/OS functions are addressed by the ANTRQST macro.
