The Retrieve Current Attributes (QWCRTVCA) API retrieves job and thread attributes that apply to the thread in which this API is called. If a thread attribute exists, it is retrieved. If a thread attribute does not exist, the job attribute for the job in which this thread is running is retrieved.
None.

The format of the attribute list to return. The possible format names follow:
| RTVC0100 | Basic retrieve format |

| RTVC0300 | ASP group information |
See RTVC0100 Format, RTVC0200 Format, and RTVC0300 Format for more information.
The number of attributes to return in the specified format.
The list of the attributes to be returned in the specified format. For a list of the valid key attributes, see Valid Key Attributes.
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter.

Length of attribute information returned. The total length of information returned for this attribute. This value is used to increment to the next entry in the list.
Length of data. The length of the data returned for the field.
Number of attributes returned. The number of attributes returned to the application.
Reserved. An ignored field.
Type of data. The type of output data. This field is provided to maintain the same format layout that is used in the Change Job (QWTCHGJB) API.

| B | The output data is in binary format. |
The RTVC0200 format returns library list information. Retrieval of the
library list information is threadsafe. The format returns the actual length
instead of the total length because all libraries may not exist.

The data is left-justified and padded with blanks on the right. The array is sequential. See the CL Programming topic for the total number of libraries that can be returned to you. | |||
Current library existence. Whether the current library exists or not. This value will be zero if the current library was not requested.
| 0 | No current library exists. |
| 1 | A current library exists. |
Number of bytes available. All of the available bytes for use in your application.
The actual length depends on how many libraries are in the library list.
Number of bytes returned. The number of bytes returned to the user. This may be some but not all of the bytes available.
Number of libraries in SYSLIBL. The number of libraries in the system part of the thread's library list. This value will be zero if system libraries were not requested.
Number of libraries in USRLIBL. The number of libraries in the thread's user library list. This value will be zero if user libraries were not requested.
Number of product libraries. The number of product libraries found in the thread's library list. This value will be zero if product libraries were not requested.
Library list (for each library in the list). The list of all libraries requested. A blank is in the last position of each name. The number of libraries in the list will depend on the keys requested and the actual number of libraries in each portion of the library list. The order of the library list is:

Most field descriptions for this API are in Work Management API Attribute Descriptions (WMAttrDesc), except the following:
All portions of the library list for format RTVC0200. All portions of the library list will be returned.
Current system pool identifier. The identifier of the system-related pool from which this thread's main storage currently is being allocated. These identifiers are not the same as those specified in the subsystem description, but are the same as the system pool identifiers shown on the system status display. If a thread reaches the end of its time slice, the pool this thread is running in can be switched based on the job's time-slice end pool value. The current system pool identifier returned by this API will be the actual pool in which the thread currently is running.
Run priority. The priority at which this thread currently is running, relative to other threads on the system. The run priority ranges from 0 (highest priority) to 99 (lowest priority). The value may never be higher than the run priority for the job in which this thread is running. Since this API is intended for retrieving the current value of an attribute, the run priority of the thread is returned, even though the 1802 key represents the run priority of the job on other interfaces. To obtain the run priority of the job, use the 1802 key on the Retrieve Thread Attributes (QWTRTVTA) API.
