The Retrieve Exit Information (OPM, QUSRTVEI; ILE, QusRetrieveExitInformation) API retrieves information about one or more exit points and their associated exit programs. This API returns information similar to the Work with Registration Information (WRKREGINF) command.
The value returned to the user in the receiver variable when only partial exit information is returned. This parameter must be set to blanks on the first call to this API. This parameter is used when more information is available to return than what could fit in the receiver variable. When you specify a continuation handle for this parameter, all other parameters must have the same values as the call to the API that generated the continuation handle. Failure to do so may result in incomplete or inaccurate information.
Entries are only returned in their entirety; the API never returns anything less. If there is not enough space for the entire entry, the continuation handle is set to something other than blanks.
The variable that is to receive the exit information requested.
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 format of the exit information to be returned. You must use one of the following format names:
| EXTI0100 | Exit point information |
| EXTI0200 | Basic exit program information |
| EXTI0300 | Complete exit program information |
Refer to EXTI0100 Format, EXTI0200 Format, and EXTI0300 Format for more information.
The name of the exit point for which information is being retrieved. You must use one of the following values.
Note: The specified values in these value descriptions pertain to the exit point format name, exit program number, and exit program selection criteria fields.
| *ALL | All registered and unregistered exit point names that meet the specified values will be returned. |
| *REGISTERED | All registered exit point names that meet the specified values will be returned. |
| *UNREGISTERED | All unregistered exit point names that meet the specified values will be returned. |
| generic* | All registered and unregistered exit point names that have names beginning with the generic string and meet the specified values will be returned. |
| exit point name | The registered or unregistered exit point name that was specified that meets the specified values will be returned. |
The exit point format name associated with an exit point. You must use one of the following values.
Note: The specified values in these value descriptions pertain to the exit point name, exit program number, and exit program selection criteria fields.
| *ALL | All exit point format names that meet the specified values will be returned. |
| generic* | All exit point format names that have names beginning with the generic string and meet the specified values will be returned. |
| exit point format name | The exit point format name that was specified that meets the specified values will be returned. |
The number of the exit program. If you specify format EXTI0100, this parameter is ignored. You must use one of the following values.
Note: The specified values in these value descriptions pertain to the exit point name, exit point format name, and exit program selection criteria fields.
| -1 | All exit programs that meet the specified values will be returned. |
| exit program number | The exit program number to be returned. The entry must meet the specified values to be returned. The valid range is 1 through 2 147 483 647. |
The selection criteria to be used when selecting which exit programs associated with the exit point are returned. The comparison data is compared against the exit program data. The comparison data and the exit program data to compare it to must be from 1 through 256 characters, and no CCSID normalization is performed. Using characters from the invariant character set for the comparison data is recommended.
For format EXTI0100, this parameter is ignored.
The information must be in the following format:
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter.
