Fields defined as TYPE BINARY 16 in the manual and the GDDL file are defined
as PIC S9(4) COMP or PIC 9(4) COMP in GCOB and GLNK.
Commonly Used
Fields
Certain DDL field definitions are common to several UOWs. The syntax for these
definitions is presented with the individual UOW descriptions in this manual.
Information about their general use is summarized in the following paragraphs.
BOOLEAN Fields Fields with a data type of BOOLEAN contain data that is either logically true
(represented by Y or y) or false (represented by N or n). The DDL definition for
BOOLEAN is:
DEF boolean PIC A.
When UOWs have OPTIONS fields defined as BOOLEAN fields, the BOOLEAN fields
are checked for valid Y or N values before any other fields in the UOW are checked.
Input fields are not necessarily checked sequentially for validity. For example, if
invalid values are entered in both the ORDERING-DISCIPLINE and ALLOW-
DUPLICATES fields in the CREATE-FOLDER-B00 UOW, the error code 4051
(E-MUST-BE-YN) for the ALLOW-DUPLICATES UOW is returned.
CORR-NAME Field in
Administrative UOWs
Many administrative UOWs (that is, UOWs that handle operations such as managing
depots, distribution lists, or TRANSFER names) include a CORR-NAME field that
identifies the correspondent that the calling process represents. Some of these UOWs
can only be issued by processes representing correspondents with system
administrator capability.
In cases where the DDL for the CORR-NAME fields contains a VALUE SPACES
clause, only system administrators can enter correspondent names other than their
own; users who are not system administrators must enter their own names or leave
the field blank. The DDL definition for CORR-NAME is:
DEF corr-name PIC X(80).
