ARFETCHRECORDKEY
Considerations
•
The record key field only occurs in UPDATE AUDITCOMP audit records.
•
The value of a record key is only meaningful if the audit (data) file is key-
sequenced. For other types of files (entry-sequenced, relative, or unstructured),
the field contains the two-word internal form of the data record address.
Because audit records do not specify the file type, the TMF audit-reading
procedures cannot distinguish between an internal record address and a two-word
key, either of which can be returned. If the audited file is accessible, you can find
out its type by calling the FILEINFO system procedure.
•
The ARGETRECADDR procedure returns the data record address for changes to
entry-sequenced, relative, or unstructured files (the file must be accessible). You
can use ARGETRECADDR with any data change audit record (insert, delete, and
any form of update).
