Measure Reference Manual

dfnum
input
INT:value
is the data file access number, or -1, which is also the default value. To access the journal
segment of an open measurement data file containing a journal segment, use the dfnum value
returned by the MEASOPEN procedure. If -1 is specified, or if no journal segment is available
for the specified data file but the file is from the current system, resolution is from the SQL/MX
subsystem. If the descriptor is used for an active measurement, -1 should be passed.
name
input
STRING .EXT:ref:*
is a buffer containing the possibly wildcarded, fully qualified ANSI SQL object name or ANSI
SQL partition name in external format to be translated. If no name is passed, the output fields
will be filled with wildcard indicators.
name_len
input
INT:value
is the size, in bytes, of the input name. Must be present if name is input.
pathid
output
INT .EXT:ref:12
is the pathid component of the MID, if a partition name was passed. Otherwise, a wildcard
pathid value is returned. This value corresponds to the File^name^MID.Pathid field in an
entity descriptor.
crvsn
output
INT .EXT:ref:3
is the CRVSN component of the MID, if a partition name was passed. Otherwise, a wildcard
CRVSN value is returned. This value corresponds to the File^name^MID.crvsn field in an entity
descriptor.
uid
output
INT .EXT:ref:12
are the UID components (catalog, schema, object) of the object name. Otherwise, wildcard
values are returned for a partition name. This value corresponds to the SQLMX^Obj^Desc field
in an entity descriptor.
index
input, output
FIXED .EXT:ref:1
is a context value for iterative calls. On the initial call of MEAS_GETDESCINFO_, index must
be set to -1F. When no more instances of the object can be found, index is returned as -1F.
If not passed, -1F is assumed.
