LJFSNAP - List job variables from a Snapset

Macro type: type S (E form/L form/D form/C form/M form) (see "Macro format")

The LJFSNAP macro enables the user to obtain information about job variables which were saved on a Snapset when a pubset was backed up. The information relates to whether job variables can be restored (using the RJFSNAP macro or the RESTORE-JV-FROM-SNAPSET command). The associated pubset must be imported.

Nonprivileged users can obtain information about all job variables which they can access (as with the FSTAT macro or the SHOW-JV-ATTRIBUTES command, which supplies information from the current file catalog).

Information on all existing Snapsets of a pubset can be obtained using the SHOW-SNAPSET-CONFIGURATION command.

The Snapsets are temporarily not available if the SHC-OSD subsystem was not active when the pubset was imported. In this case the command is aborted with return code 0622. As soon as SHC-OSD is active, the Snapsets are subsequently activated when the SHOW-SNAPSET-CONFIGURATION command is called.

Privileged functions

Systems support (TSOS privilege) can obtain information on the job variables of all user IDs. Wildcards are not permitted in the user ID here.

Operand descriptions

JVNAME

Selects the job variables which are to be listed.

=<c-string 1..80: filename 1..54 with-wild(80)>
Path name of the job variables on the Snapset. Wildcards can be used to specify a set of job variables.

The job variables must satisfy the following requirements:

      • They must be cataloged when the Snapset is created.

      • The pubset on which they are cataloged must be imported locally.

Aliases may be specified.

Privileged users (TSOS privilege) can obtain information on the job variables of all user IDs. Wildcards are not permitted in the user ID here.

=<var: char:80>
Only possible with MF=M:
Symbolic address of a memory area of 80 bytes in which the path name or wildcard string for the required job variable(s) is stored.

SNAPSET

This operand may not be specified together with the SNAPID operand.
Specifies the Snapset from which the job variable information is to be output by means of the relative age.

=<integer -52..-1>
Specifies the Snapset explicitly by means of the relative age. The value -1 specifies the latest Snapset (also corresponds to *LATEST).

=*LATEST
The information from the latest Snapset (i.e. from the most recent pubset backup) is output.

SNAPID
This operand may not be specified together with the SNAPSET operand.
Specifies the Snapset from which the file information is to be output by means of the Snapset ID.

=<c-string 1..1: name 1..1 with-low>
Specifies the Snapset explicitly by means of the Snapset ID. The maximum of 52 Snapsets for a pubsets are distinguished by means of Snapset IDs specified which comprise letters from the 26 lowercase letters a to z and the 26 uppercase letters A to Z.

=<var: char 1..1>
Only possible with MF=M:
Symbolic address of a memory area of 1 byte in which the Snapset ID is stored.

Note

If neither SNAPSET nor SNAPID is specified, the information from the latest Snapset is output.

OUTAREA
Specifies the output area in which the information is to be stored.

=(<var: pointer>,<integer 0..32767>)
Specifies the address and length of the output area.

EQUATES

Control operand; for MF=C and MF=D only:
Specifies whether equates are also to be generated for the values of the fields of the parameter or output area when the parameter or output area is expanded.

= *YES
When the parameter or output area is expanded, equates are also generated for the values of the fields of the parameter or output area.

= *NO
When the parameter or output area is expanded, no equates are generated for the values of the fields of the parameter or output area.

XPAND

Control operand; for MF=C and MF=D only:
Defines which structure is to be expanded (i.e. generated). This operand is ignored for other MF values.

= PARAM
Expands the layout of the parameter list.

= OUTPUT
Expands the layout of the output area.

Return codes

The return code is placed in the standard header of the parameter area. The parameter area may then not be located in the read-only area, otherwise the program terminates.

Standard header: ccbbaaaa

The following code relating to execution of the LJFSNAP macro is returned in the standard header (cc = SUBCODE2, bb = SUBCODE1, aaaa = MAINCODE):

The return codes with the maincode X’04xy’ belong to the component JVS. A list which

includes the meanings can be output using the JVSERROR macro (see also the “Job Variables” manual [21]).

Further return codes, whose meanings are defined by conventions valid for all macros, can be found in the table on "Standard header" (standard header).

The calling program is terminated if one of the following errors occurs with respect to the parameter list:

  • the list is not assigned to the caller

  • the list is not aligned on a word boundary

  • the list is write-protected.

The following cases are distinguished when the Snapset information is output to the user’s output area:

  • All the information could be output
    The output area is overwritten with the required information, the caller receives return code 0. The output area is not deleted to the end, but only written as far as necessary.

  • No files match the selection criteria
    The output area is not written at all. The caller receives return code 0684 or 06CC (in the case of wildcards/partial qualification).

  • No output was possible
    The output area could not be written (return code 05AB after validation of the output area or address) or it is too small to transfer output information (return code 06CB).

  • Complete output was not possible
    Some file information blocks could not be transferred. In addition to the associated display in the output area (NOT ENOUGH SPACE), return code 06CB with subreturn code2 X'02' is output.
