The Retrieve Country or Region Identifiers (QLGRTVCI) API retrieves a list of country or region identifiers and their descriptions.
None.
The variable to receive the requested information. You can specify the size of the area to be smaller than the format requested, provided you specify the length of the 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 may not be predictable. The minimum length is 8 bytes.
The content and format of the information returned. The possible format names are:
| RTVC0100 | Basic country or region identifier format |
For details about the formats, see Format of the Generated Output.
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error code parameter. If this parameter is omitted, diagnostic and escape messages are issued to the application.
The following table shows the format of the information returned. For a detailed description of each fields, see Field Descriptions.
