Validation List APIs

Validation lists contain entries that consist of an identifier, data that will be encrypted when it is stored, and free-form data. Entries can be added, changed, removed, found, and validated. You can validate entries by providing the correct entry identifier and data that is encrypted.

One way to use validation lists is to store the user names of a Web browser. The entry identifier would be the user name, the data to encrypt would be the user's password, and the free-form data field would contain any additional data about the user that the browser wanted to store.

The validation list APIs are:

• Add Validation List Entry (QSYADVLE) adds an entry to a validation list object.
• Add Validation List Entry (QsyAddValidationLstEntry()) adds an entry to a validation list object.
• Change Validation List Entry (QSYCHVLE) changes an entry in a validation list object.
• Change Validation List Entry (QsyChangeValidationLstEntry()) changes an entry in a validation list object.
• Convert Validation List (QSYCVTVL) converts a validation list object from a maximum size of 4 gigabytes to a maximum size of 1 terabyte.  
• Find First Validation List Entry (QsyFindFirstValidationLstEntry()) finds the first entry in a validation list object and returns information about the validation list entry.
• Find Next Validation List Entry (QsyFindNextValidationLstEntry()) finds the next entry in a validation list object after the entry that is passed in the Entry_ID parameter and returns information about the validation list entry.
• Find Validation List Entry (QSYFDVLE) finds an entry in a validation list object and returns it.
• Find Validation List Entry (QsyFindValidationLstEntry()) finds an entry in a validation list object and returns information about the validation list entry.
• Find Validation List Entry Attributes (QsyFindValidationLstEntryAttrs()) finds an entry in a validation list object, and the attributes associated with the entry.
• Open List of Validation List Entries (QSYOLVLE) returns a list of validation list entries in a validation list object.
• Remove Validation List Entry (QSYRMVLE) removes an entry from a validation list object.
• Remove Validation List Entry (QsyRemoveValidationLstEntry()) removes an entry from a validation list object.
• Verify Validation List Entry (QsyVerifyValidationLstEntry()) verifies an entry in a validation list object.
