GSAM Calls

Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

Syntax:

IM-CLSE view
IM-OPEN view
IM-OPEN-INP view
IM-OPEN-OUT view
IM-OPEN-OUTA view
IM-OPEN-OUTM view
IM-GN PCBname [ssa1 [...ssa15]]
IM-GU PCBname ssa1 [...ssa15]
IM-ISRT PCBname [ssa1 [...ssa15]]

Parameters:

`pcbname`	Data view; can be up to 20 characters. Default is IO-PCB.
`ssa`	SSA (record search) arguments that trigger COBOL MOVEs to or from the generated I/O area IM-IO-AREA. Default is IM-IO-AREA with a length of 32,000 bytes; set IM-IO-AREA-LEN in your program or DDISYMB member to override the length.
	Specify only one SSA per hierarchical level along a path. These arguments generate 8-byte records in Working-Storage to hold the corresponding values.
`view`	Data view. Must correspond to a GSAM PCB.

Examples:

The following code

$IM-OPEN ("PARDBINP")
$IM-OPEN-INP ("PARDBINP")
$IM-GN ("PARDBINP")
