Parameters

z/OS MVS Programming: Workload Management Services
SC34-2663-00

Parameters

The parameters are explained as follows:

name
An optional symbol, starting in column 1, that is the name on the IWM4EQRY macro invocation. The name must conform to the rules for an ordinary assembler language symbol.
,ANSAREA=ansarea
A required output parameter, which is to receive the data being returned. The layout of this area is defined by macro IWMECDX.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a character field.

,ANSLEN=anslen
A required input parameter, variable which contains the length of the area provided to contain the data being returned by IWM4EQRY.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a fullword field, or specify a literal decimal value.

ETOKEN=etoken
A required input parameter, which contains the Enclave token representing the Enclave of interest.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of an 8-character field.

,FUNCTION=CLASSINFO
,FUNCTION=PERFINFO
,FUNCTION=ALL
A required parameter that indicates the query function to be executed.
,FUNCTION=CLASSINFO
Use this function to query the classification attributes of an enclave. This is the same information as is returned by service IWMECQRY.
,FUNCTION=PERFINFO
Use this function to query the WLM performance management information of an enclave. This data is based on the classification attributes and the active WLM Policy.
,FUNCTION=ALL
Use this function to query both, the classification attributes and the WLM performance management information of an enclave.
,MF=S
,MF=(L,list addr)
,MF=(L,list addr,attr)
,MF=(L,list addr,0D)
,MF=(E,list addr)
,MF=(E,list addr,COMPLETE)
An optional input parameter that specifies the macro form.

Use MF=S to specify the standard form of the macro, which builds an inline parameter list and generates the macro invocation to transfer control to the service. MF=S is the default.

Use MF=L to specify the list form of the macro. Use the list form together with the execute form of the macro for applications that require reentrant code. The list form defines an area of storage that the execute form uses to store the parameters. Only the PLISTVER parameter may be coded with the list form of the macro.

Use MF=E to specify the execute form of the macro. Use the execute form together with the list form of the macro for applications that require reentrant code. The execute form of the macro stores the parameters into the storage area defined by the list form, and generates the macro invocation to transfer control to the service.

,list addr
The name of a storage area to contain the parameters. For MF=S and MF=E, this can be an RS-type address or an address in register (1)-(12).
,attr
An optional 1- to 60-character input string that you use to force boundary alignment of the parameter list. Use a value of 0F to force the parameter list to a word boundary, or 0D to force the parameter list to a doubleword boundary. If you do not code attr, the system provides a value of 0D.
,COMPLETE
Specifies that the system is to check for required parameters and supply defaults for omitted optional parameters.
,PLISTVER=IMPLIED_VERSION
,PLISTVER=MAX
,PLISTVER=0
An optional input parameter that specifies the version of the macro. PLISTVER determines which parameter list the system generates. PLISTVER is an optional input parameter on all forms of the macro, including the list form. When using PLISTVER, specify it on all macro forms used for a request and with the same value on all of the macro forms. The values are:
  • IMPLIED_VERSION, which is the lowest version that allows all parameters specified on the request to be processed. If you omit the PLISTVER parameter, IMPLIED_VERSION is the default.
  • MAX, if you want the parameter list to be the largest size currently possible. This size might grow from release to release and affect the amount of storage that your program needs.

    If you can tolerate the size change, IBM recommends that you always specify PLISTVER=MAX on the list form of the macro. Specifying MAX ensures that the list-form parameter list is always long enough to hold all the parameters you might specify on the execute form, when both are assembled with the same level of the system. In this way, MAX ensures that the parameter list does not overwrite nearby storage.

  • 0, if you use the currently available parameters.

To code: Specify one of the following:

  • IMPLIED_VERSION
  • MAX
  • A decimal value of 0
,QUERYLEN=querylen
A required output parameter, variable is to receive the number of bytes needed to contain the data being returned by IWM4EQRY. The length of the area needed to contain the data is dependent on the Function being used. If the ANSLEN is less than the QUERYLEN, then no data is returned in the output area specified by ANSAREA and a return code of 4 is issued.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a fullword field.

,RETCODE=retcode
An optional output parameter into which the return code is to be copied from GPR 15. If you specify 15, GPR15, REG15, or R15 (within or without parentheses), the value will be left in GPR 15.

To code: Specify the RS-type address of a fullword field, or register (2)-(12) or (15), (GPR15), (REG15), or (R15).

,RSNCODE=rsncode
An optional output parameter into which the reason code is to be copied from GPR 0. If you specify 0, 00, GPR0, GPR00, REG0, REG00, or R0 (within or without parentheses), the value will be left in GPR 0.

To code: Specify the RS-type address of a fullword field, or register (0) or (2)-(12), (00), (GPR0), (GPR00), REG0), (REG00), or (R0).
