Member attributes

All members have certain attributes, regardless of their type:

• CREATION-DATE and CREATION-TIME

• MODIFICATION-DATE and MODIFICATION-TIME

• USER-DATE and USER-TIME

• SECONDARY-NAME and SECONDARY-ATTRIBUTE  (reference entry)^(*1)

• CODED-CHARACTER-SET

The values of this attribute are displayed when outputting the contents of a library.

(*1)

Reference entries are entries in the secondary directory of the library. They are created when the user creates reference records (record type 163) of the form <secondary-name> <secondary-attribute> when writing a member. The reference entries document the relation “one particular <secondary-name> and <secondary-attribute> occurs in the member”. This type-based sorting of the reference entries permits the query: “In which member of type TYPE does the reference entry occur?”. This is implemented by the following LMSCONV statement: //SHOW-ELEMENT-ATTR (*STD,*,TYPE= ...,SECONDARY-NAME=.., -       SECONDARY-ATTRIBUTE=...,) This designation is used for modules (type R or L) as the basis for the autolink function (see the “Binder” manual [12 (Related publications)]); reference entries are, for example, <name> <CSECT> or <name> <ENTRY>.

Input format of the date

The input format of the date is as follows:

[YY]YY-MM-DD	[YY]YY  :  Year; optionally 2- or 4-digit
	MM      : Month
	DD      : Day

If the year is entered in 2-digit form, LMSCONV adds the century data using the reference year:
YY   <    60      -->      20YY

YY   >=   60      -->      19YY
