0 The application enabler support will not be used with this system.
1 The application enabler support will be used with this system.

Application enabler support activated flag. An indication of whether the application enabler has been activated with the QOGCHGOE API.

0 The application enabler has not been activated.
1 The application enabler has been activated.

Application enabler support activating flag. An indication of whether the application enabler support can be activated. Application enabler support can become active if at least one application is defined and the support is made active with the QOGCHGOE API.

0 The application enabler would not become active if activated.
1 The application enabler would become active if activated.

Bytes available. The total length of all data available.

Bytes returned. The length of the data actually returned.

Document conversion program library name. The name of the library containing the program to be called for document conversions. This field will be blanks if the document conversion exit program name is *IBM.

Document conversion program name. The name of the program to be called for document conversions if an IBM conversion does not exist. If the program is *IBM, the IBM-supplied conversion exit or registered conversions will be called.

Document handling program library name. The name of the library containing the program to be called for document requests. This field will be blanks if the document handling exit program name is *IBM.

Document handling program name. The name of the program to be called for document requests. If the program is *IBM, OfficeVision is called for the document requests.

Document handling program supports mail flag. An indication of whether the document handling program supports mail requests (that is, MAILVIEW, MAILFWD, MAILREPLY, PRINT and PRINTOPTS from the Work with Mail display). If *IBM is specified as the document handling exit program, the value will be 1.

0 The exit program does not support mail.
1 The exit program does support mail.

Mail handling support active flag. An indication of whether the Mail Handling support is active. Mail handling support is active if there is an application defined that handles mail, application enabler support has been activated, and mail support has been activated.

0 The mail handling support is inactive with this application.
1 The mail handling support is active with this application.
