DEFLIST
DEFLIST
includes in the compiler listing the level number, name, size, and byte offset of
definitions referenced by a DEFINITION or RECORD statement.
NODEFLIST
excludes from the the compiler listing the level number, name, size, and byte offset
of definitions referenced by a DEFINITION or RECORD statement.
DEFLIST can be useful when a referenced definition is included in generated source
code files.
The DEFLIST description appears in either of these formats:
level-number field-name (offset:length) [min:max]
level-number field-name (offset:length)
depending on whether a minimum and maximum (or total) number of occurrences
have been defined.
For users of SPI, DEFLIST can help you understand ZSPI-DDL-PARM-ERR.Z-
OFFSET, the definition that provides the byte offset within a structure that is in error.
DEFLIST shows where the error is.
In Example 9-21 on page 9-46, assume that the record CUSTOMER indirectly refers to
three definitions−CUSTNUM, NAME, and ADDR−through the definition CUSTINFO.
(These definitions are in the sample database schema in Appendix B, Sample
Schemas.)
Variable Value
level-number Level number assigned to the field in the referring structure.
field-name Name of the included field or group.
offset Starting byte position of the field or group within the referring
structure.
length Length of the field in bytes.
min Minimum number of occurrences for OCCURS DEPENDING ON or
the total number for OCCURS.
max Maximum number of occurrences for OCCURS DEPENDING ON or
the total number for OCCURS.
Example 9-21. DEFLIST Command (page1of2)
Definition in Dictionary

02 table-size TYPE BINARY 16.
02 data-table TYPE BINARY 32
OCCURS 1 TO 100 TIMES DEPENDING ON table-size.
