<p>The Retrieve Program Temporary Fix Information (QPZRTVFX) API returns
information about a specific program temporary fix (PTF). The information
returned is determined by the format specified.</p>
<p>You can use the QPZRTVFX API to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Retrieve basic information about a PTF.</li>
<li>Retrieve the cover letter information for a PTF.</li>
<li>Retrieve the requisites for a PTF.</li>
<li>Retrieve the list of objects for a PTF.</li>
<li>Retrieve the dependents for a PTF.</li>
<li>Retrieve the list of APARs for a PTF.</li>
<li>Retrieve the list of symptom strings for a PTF.</li>
<li>Retrieve the list of exit programs for a PTF.</li>
<li>Retrieve the preconditions for a PTF.</li>
<li>Retrieve the superseded PTF
IDs for a PTF.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>None.</strong></dt>
</dl>
<p>Lock conflicts may occur if this API is called while another PTF operation
is in progress.</p>
<br>
<h3>Required Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Receiver variable</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; CHAR(*)
<p>The receiver variable that is to receive the information requested. The
length of this area must be passed in the length of receiver variable
parameter. The API returns only the data the area can hold.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Length of receiver variable</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; Binary(4)
<p>The length of the receiver variable. You can specify a smaller area than the
format requested as long as you specify the length of receiver variable
parameter correctly. If the length specified is larger than the size of the
receiver variable, the results are not predictable. This value must be greater
than or equal to 8.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>PTF information</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(50)
<p>The attributes of the PTF for which information is being requested. For more
information on this parameter see <a href="#HDRPTFINF4">Format of PTF
Information</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Format name</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(8)
<p>The content and format of the information returned for the PTF. The possible
format names are:</p>
