<h1 class="topictitle1">User spaces</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>List APIs require a user space for returning information. A user
|
||
|
|
space is an object consisting of a collection of bytes that can be used for
|
||
|
|
storing any user-defined information.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Following are some of the advantages of using user spaces:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>User spaces can be automatically extendable.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>User spaces can be shared across jobs.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>User spaces can exist across IPLs.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>To provide a consistent design and use of the user space (*USRSPC)
|
||
|
|
objects, the list APIs use a common data structure. The list APIs are those
|
||
|
|
APIs that generate a list unique to that API. This includes any list API that
|
||
|
|
has a user space parameter, such as the List Spooled Files and List Objects
|
||
|
|
APIs.</p>
