<p>The Retrieve List Attributes (QUIRTVLA) API retrieves the following list
attributes:</p>
<ul>
<li>The list contents attribute, indicating whether or not all entries are
present in the list, and which entries are missing if it is incomplete</li>
<li>The name of the dialog variable that identifies the program called when the
UIM needs to add entries to an incomplete list</li>
<li>The display position attribute, which is the list entry handle for the
entry presented at the top-most row of any list area that displays a list</li>
<li>The allow trim attribute, which indicates whether or not the UIM trims a
full list when adding new entries</li>
</ul>
<br>
<!-- Please NOTE: DO NOT DELETE THIS SECTION if this API has no authorities and locks. -->
<!-- Instead, use the commented out coding below to indicate NONE. -->
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<!-- Use this if there are no authorities and locks. -->
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Required Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Application handle</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(8)
<p> The application handle assigned by the UIM and returned to the application
program by the Open Display Application (QUIOPNDA) API or by the Open Print
Application (QUIOPNPA) API when the application is opened.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>List name</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p> The name of the list whose attributes are retrieved. If the list is not
currently active in the open application, an error is reported. A list is made
active the first time an entry is inserted with the Add List Entry (QUIADDLE)
or Add List Multiple Entries (QUIADDLM) API, or the fist time the list's
attributes are set with the Set List Attributes (QUISETLA) API.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Receiver</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; CHAR(*)
<p> The current attributes of the list. For the format of the receiver
variable, see <a href="#HDRFMTDAT">Format of Data Returned</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Receiver length</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p> The amount of data the application program is prepared to receive. If the
length specified is larger than the amount of data available, the receiver is
not changed beyond the amount of data available.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Error code</strong></dt>
<dd>I/O; CHAR(*)
<p> The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the
structure, see <a href="../apiref/error.htm#hdrerrcod">Error Code Parameter</a>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<h3><a name="HDRFMTDAT">Format of Data Returned</a></h3>
<p>The format of the data available, returned in the receiver parameter, is as
follows:</p>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="10 90" -->
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" nowrap><em>CHAR(4)</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The list contents attribute, indicating whether
or not the list contains all or some of the entries available for display or
printing. For more information about the meaning of each possible return value,
see the <a href="quisetla.htm">Set List Attributes (QUISETLA) API</a>. The
following values can be returned in this parameter:
<table cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>ALL</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The list is complete. This value is returned when
either the QUISETLA API has not been called to set the list attribute or when
ALL is the last list contents attribute specified on a call to the QUISETLA API
for the list.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>TOP</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">Only the top part of an incomplete list is
available. This value is returned when TOP is the last list contents attribute
specified on a call to the QUISETLA API for the list.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>BOT</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">Only the bottom part of an incomplete list is
available. This value is returned when BOT is the last list contents attribute
specified on a call to the QUISETLA API for the list.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>MORE</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">Only the middle part of an incomplete list is
available. This value is returned when MORE is the last list contents attribute
specified on a call to the QUISETLA API for the list.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" nowrap><em>CHAR(10)</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The name of the dialog variable identifying the
program the UIM calls when more entries are needed in an incomplete list.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>CHAR(4)</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The display position attribute, which is the list
entry handle at the top of the list area on the next panel that displays this
list. The UIM does not use the display position attribute for print
applications.
<p>The value returned is the handle for a specific entry in the list, or one of
the following special values:</p>
<table cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>TOP</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The top entries in the list are displayed.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>BOT</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The bottom entries in the list are
displayed.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>If the list entry identified by the display position attribute of a list is
removed before the list is displayed on a panel, the UIM adjusts the attribute
to display the entry before the one that was removed. The value returned by
this API is not meaningful if entries are removed from the list after the
display position attribute is retrieved.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>CHAR(1)</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The allow trim attribute, which indicates whether
or not the UIM trims the list when a new list entry causes the list to exceed
its maximum size. For additional details, see the <a href="quisetla.htm">Set
List Attributes (QUISETLA) API</a>.
<p>One of the following values is returned:</p>
<table cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>Y</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The UIM automatically trims the list.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>N</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The UIM does not automatically trim the
list.</td>
</tr>
</table>
