<h1 class="topictitle1">Scenario: Original Program Model (OPM) API</h1>
<div><p>This scenario demonstrates the use of an original program model
(OPM) API in several different programs. </p>
<p>These examples focus on descriptions, formats, variable-length fields as
output, and optional parameters. This scenario accesses information from a
job description to demonstrate how to code APIs. While this may not be what
your application requires, you can use the same approach to access information
when you use most of the APIs.</p>
<p>Assume that you are interested in accessing the value of the hold parameter
on the Retrieve Job Description (RTVJOBD) command. The hold parameter determines
whether the job is held on the job queue. Two values are supported:</p>
<p><strong>*NO</strong> The job is not held.</p>
<p><strong>*YES</strong> The job is held on the job queue.</p>
<p>The first step is to find the correct API to use. To do this, you must
identify the part of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span>program
that is most closely related to the function in which you are interested.
If you want to access information from a job description, as in our scenario,
you should know that a job description object is considered part of the work
management function.</p>
<p>API names contain verbs that are similar to the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> licensed
program: change, create, remove, and retrieve. For a complete list of verbs,
see OPM and ILE API verbs and abbreviations.</p>
<p>These examples use the Retrieve Job Description Information (QWDRJOBD)
API.</p>
<p>For a detailed description of how to use the API, use information in API
information format.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> These descriptions and the programs that support them are in RPG. You
can, however, view the same programs in different languages.</div>
<p>IBM<sup>®</sup> grants
you a nonexclusive copyright license to use all programming code examples
from which you can generate similar function tailored to your own specific
needs.</p>
