Required Parameter Group

Receiver variable
OUTPUT; CHAR(*)

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.

Length of receiver variable
INPUT; BINARY(4)

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. The minimum length is 8 bytes.

Object name
INPUT; CHAR(*)

The name of the object to retrieve backup detail information about. The length of this field is based on the Object type parameter and the Object name length parameter. Specify either a 10-character library name or specify a 12-character folder name.

Object name length
INPUT; BINARY(4)

The length of the name of the object about which to retrieve backup detail information. Allowable object name lengths follow:

10 The 10-character library name when the object type parameter is *LIB.
12 The 12-character folder name when the object type parameter is *FLR.

Format name
INPUT; CHAR(8)

The name of the format to be used to return information to caller. The following format may be used:

RBKD0100 Backup detail information. For more information, see RBKD0100 Format.

Object type
INPUT; CHAR(10)
