ZDNS-DDL-DNSNAME
is used to specify the name of a DNS object (alias, composite, domain, or group) in
parameters. In response structures, the field contains a DNS object name. It has
the following structure:
def ZDNS-DDL-DNSNAME.
02 Z-C type character(32) spi- null " ".
02 Z-s redefines z-c.
03 Z-i type binary 16 occurs 16 times.
02 Z-b redefines z-c pic X occurs 32 times.
end.
Allowed Parameter Values:
The field must contain a valid DNS object name, left-justified and blank-filled. The
name manager applies the SHIFTSTRING procedure (upshift) to the contents of the
field before using the value.
In some contexts, the field may be left null (blank-filled).
Also, some uses of this type of field allow an asterisk (*) in the first character position
with the remainder of the field being blank-filled.
Response Values:
In response structures, this type of field always contains a valid DNS object name, left-
justified and blank-filled.
