<div><p><span>This information discusses open and I/O
feedback areas.</span></p>
<p><span>Figures in this topic describe the
open and I/O feedback areas associated with tape or diskette files.</span> The
program presents the following information for each item in these feedback
areas:</p>
<ul><li>Offset, which is the number of bytes from the start of the feedback area
to the location of each item</li>
<li>Data Type</li>
<li>The program gives the length in number of bytes</li>
<li>Contents, which is the description of the item and the valid values for
it</li>
<li>File type, which is an indication of what file types are valid for each
item</li>
</ul>
<p>The support provided by the high-level language you are using determines
how to access this information and how the program represents the data types.
See your high-level language manual for more information.</p>
