The Retrieve Language Identifiers (QLGRTVLI) API retrieves a list of language identifiers and their descriptions.
None.
The receiver variable that receives the information requested. You can specify the size of the area to be smaller than the format requested, provided you specify the length of receiver variable parameter correctly. As a result, the API returns only the data the area can hold.
The length of the receiver variable. If the length is larger than the size of the receiver variable, the results are not predictable. The minimum length is 8 bytes.
The content and format of the information returned. The possible format names are:
| RTVL0100 | Basic language identifier format |
See RTVL0100 Format for a description of this format.
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter.
Following is the format of the information returned. For a description of the fields in this format, see Field Descriptions.
