The Open List of Objects to be Backed Up (QEZOLBKL) API retrieves an open list of the objects that are to be backed up.
For more information, see Process Open List APIs.
The receiver variable that receives the information requested. You can specify the size of the area to be smaller than the format requested as long as you specify the length parameter correctly. As a result, the API returns only the data that the area can hold.
The length of the receiver variable provided. The length of receiver variable parameter may be specified up to the size of the receiver variable specified in the user program. If the length of receiver variable parameter specified is larger than the allocated size of the receiver variable specified in the user program, the results are not predictable.
Information about the list that is created by this program. For a description of the layout of this parameter, see Format of List Information.
The number of records in the list to put into the receiver variable. The value must be 0 or greater.
The name of the format to be used to return the requested information. One of the following format names may be used:
| OBKL0100 | Library basic information format. The object type parameter must be *LIB. For more information, see OBKL0100 Format. |
| OBKL0200 | Folder basic information format. The object type parameter must be *FLR. For more information, see OBKL0200 Format. |
| OBKL0600 | Complete information format. The object type parameter may be *FLR or *LIB. For more information, see OBKL0600 Format. |
The type of the objects to be returned in the list. One of the following object types may be used:
| *FLR | The folder information is returned. The format name may be OBKL0200 or OBKL0600. |
| *LIB | The library information is returned. The format name may be OBKL0100 or OBKL0600. |
The backup type of the objects that you request. Allowable backup types follow:
| *DAILY | Return information for objects that are backed up *DAILY. |
| *WEEKLY | Return information for objects that are backed up *WEEKLY. |
| *MONTHLY | Return information for objects that are backed up *MONTHLY. |
| *ALL | Return information for objects that are backed up *DAILY, *WEEKLY, or *MONTHLY. |
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter.
The following tables describe the order and format of the data that is returned in the receiver variable.

| C | Century, where 0 indicates years 19xx and 1 indicates years 20xx. |
| YY | Year |
| MM | Month |
| DD | Day |
Last backup time. The time that the object was last backed up. The format of this field is in the HHMMSS as follows:
| HH | Hour |

| 44 | 2C | CHAR(36) | Reserved |
Authority reason code. Whether all information that you requested has been supplied due to the user's authority. The list of folders or libraries may not be the complete list of objects on the system if the user does not have the required authority to list the object. A user with *SAVSYS or *ALLOBJ authority is able to get a complete list. Without this authority, the list may not be complete.
| 0000 | The list is complete. |
| 0001 | The list may be partial due to authorization. |
Date and time created. The date and time that the list was created. The 13 characters follow:
| 1 | Century, where 0 indicates years 19xx and 1 indicates years 20xx. |
| 2-7 | The date, in YYMMDD (year, month, and day) format. |
| 8-13 | The time of day, in HHMMSS (hours, minutes, and seconds) format. |
First record in buffer. The number of the first record in the receiver variable.
Information complete indicator. Whether all information that was requested has been supplied.
| I | Incomplete information. An interruption causes the list to contain incomplete information about a buffer or buffers. |
| P | Partial and accurate information. Partial information is returned when the maximum space is used and not all of the buffers that were requested are read. |
| C | Complete and accurate information. All the buffers that were requested are read and returned. |
Length of information returned. The size, in bytes, of the information that is returned in the receiver variable.
List status indicator. The status of building the list.
| 0 | Building the list is pending. |
| 1 | The list is in the process of being built. |
| 2 | The list has been completely built. |
| 3 | An error occurred when the system built the list. The next call to the Get List Entries (QGYGTLE) API causes the error to be signaled to the caller of QGYGTLE. |
Record length. The length of each record of information returned. For variable length records, this value is set to 0. For variable length records, you can obtain the length of individual records from the records themselves.
Records returned. The number of records that are returned in the receiver variable. This is the smallest of the following values:
Request handle. The handle of the request that can be used for subsequent requests of information from the list. The handle is valid until the Close List (QGYCLST) API is called to close the list or until the job ends.
Note: This field should be treated as a hexadecimal field. It should not be converted from one CCSID to another, for example, EBCDIC to ASCII, because doing so could result in an unusable value.
Reserved. A reserved field. This field must be set to hexadecimal or binary zero.
Total records. The total number of records available in the list.
