Field Descriptions

Activity name. The name of the activity stored in the change request description name.

Activity text description. The description of the activity.

Activity type. The name of the activity type stored in the change request description name. This value is defined by the user program. The API does not define the possible values.

Change request description name specified. The name of the change request description specified to the API.

Change request description name used. The name of the change request description used to retrieve the list.

Change request description library name specified. The name of the library where the change request description is stored specified to the API. If the special values *LIBL or *CURLIB are used, the library name resolved is set here.

Change request description library name used. The name of the library used where the change request description is stored.

Conditions array. The list of conditions that must be met before the activity can be run. This is an array of 5 elements. The number of conditions field indicates the actual number of conditions specified for the activity.

The structure of each element is:

activity CHAR(10)

Activity name. Possible values: *PRV, user-specified name, or a generic name (partial name followed by an asterisk (*)).
relation CHAR(3)

The relational operator. Possible values are:

*EQ, *NE, *GT, *LT, *GE, *LE.
reserved An ignored field.
code BIN(31)

The end code value to base conditioning on. The following values are supported:

0-99 User can specify anything in this range.
-1 (*SUCCESS) The end code is any value from 0-9.

If specified, relation must be *EQ or *NE.
-2 (*FAIL) The end code is any value from 10-89.

-4 (*ANY) The end code is any value from 0-99.

If specified, relation must be *EQ.
mode CHAR(10)

Condition mode. Possible values are:

*ALLNODES All nodes of the conditioning activity must meet the completion criteria before this condition is considered met.
*SAMENODE Nodes of the conditioned activity need only wait for the same node of the conditioning activity to meet the completion criteria before this condition is considered met.

CCSID of activity text. The CCSID of the activity text description.

Format name specified. The format name specified to the API.

Function parameters. The parameters defined by the calling application when the activity was added.

Function parameters length. The length of the function parameters returned.
