## EORUCB1N: Check Use of BS2000 User IDs

You can use the exit EORUCB1N contained in the library SYSEORU for a user-defined check if Natural users are allowed to use BS2000 user IDs.

Meaning of the input and output fields:

### Parameter Description

Parameter | Format/Length | Use
--- | --- | ---
`P-RC` | N4 | out | Return code (not evaluated, should be `0`).
`P-RT` | A70 | out | Return text (not evaluated).
`P-USER` | A8 | in | `*USER` in Natural.
`P-BS2000-USERID` | A8 | in | BS2000 user ID.
`P-ACCOUNT` | A8 | in | BS2000 account number.
`P-SUBMIT-PSWD` | A8 | in | BS2000 submit password.

In the following you find the example of the exit EORUCB1N delivered with Entire Operations which you can adapt according to your needs. The exit always returns `P-RC=0` (authorized).

#### Example

    * NOPFB2-N

    END

## NOPFB2-N: Generate SYSOUT File Names for BS2000

The exit NOPFB2-N may be copied into the library SYSEOR to enable the user-defined generation of SYSOUT file names in BS2000. Only one instance of this exit exists in the system and it is executed only if it is present. Otherwise, standard name generation is used.

This exit is called with the parameter list NOPXPL-A, so the first line of the exit must be:

    DEFINE DATA PARAMETER USING NOPXPL-A

This section covers the following topics:

- Parameter Description

- Rules for Exit Coding

- Use with Work File Deletion

- Example

### Parameter Description

Meaning of the parameters in NOPXPL-A:

Parameter | Format/Length | Use
--- | --- | ---
`P-CALL-PLACE` | A3 | in | Constant `FSB` (file name SYSOUT BS2000).
`P-RC` | N4 | out | Return code:
`0` | Function OK (name generation OK).
`1` | A name could not be generated. The default name routine of Entire Operations is to be called.
`2` | A name could not be generated. The action (activation) is to be cancelled.
If the activation is cancelled by means of the name routine, a corresponding log entry will be written.
`P-RT` | A66 | out | Return code (not evaluated).
`P-OWNER` | A10 | in | Network owner.
`P-NETWORK` | A10 | in | Job network.
`P-JOB` | A10 | in | Job.
`P-RUN` | P13 | in | Run number.
`P-ACTIVATION-TIME` | T | in | Activation time of the network.
`P-EXECUTION-NODE` | N3 | in | Entire System Server execution node.
`````P-EXECUTION-OPSYS` | A8 | in | Operating system of Entire System Server node.
`P-SYMBOL-TABLE` | A10 | in | Name of the defined symbol table.
`P-FSB-OBJECT-TYPE` | A5 | in | File type:
`SO-C` | Current SYSOUT file.
`SO-P` | Previous SYSOUT file.
`SO-P1` | Previous SYSOUT file without user ID.
`SO-A` | All SYSOUT files of a job.
`P-FSB-USERID` | A8 | in | BS2000 user ID.
`P-FSB-CATID` | A4 | in | BS2000 Cat ID.
`P-FSB-SUFFIX` | A2 | in | BS2000 suffix.
`P-SYSOUT-FILE` | A54 | out | Generated file name.

### Rules for Exit Coding

- File names must be created which are unique system-wide. Otherwise, the proper running of Entire Operations is no longer possible.

- File names which are unique system-wide can be produced by using the fields `P-OWNER`, `P-NETWORK`, `P-RUN`, `P-JOB` and `P-FSB-SUFFIX` simultaneously.

- You must be able to process all object types defined above.

- Except for the object type `SO-P1`, a fully-qualified file name must be created which includes the BS2000 user ID.

- A wildcard file entry valid for all SYSOUT files of an active job must be created for the type `SO-A`. This type is used for deleting files.

- The field `P-FSB-SUFFIX` is transferred and must be used to differentiate SYSOUT files when jobs are repeated. The caller ensures that the suffix for the currently active job is unique. For the object type `SO-C`, this field is blank.

Note
If no file name is returned, then standard name generation is used.

### Use with Work File Deletion

Even in case of work file deletion (in connection with deactivation or cleanup) this exit is called, if it exists at all. The following will apply in this context:

- At any rate, an attempt is made to also delete work files, which correspond to the default name conventions of Entire Operations, independent of the existence of the exit.

- It is presumed that the exit will generate the run number with exactly 5 digits, which are enclosed by dots:

  - `aaa.00000.bbb` (example: `aaa.01234.bbb`)

  For the Entire Operations file search, this pattern is replaced by a wildcard:

  - `aaa.00000.bbb` --> `aaa.*.bbb`

- If the name syntax of the exit is modified, files cannot be found any longer, the names of which have been generated before the modification. It is not recommended to exchange the exit, while active jobs are running in the operating system.

`11` | Invalid time frame. One or both of the following has occurred: `P-LATEST-START` is specified and is earlier than `P-START-TIME`. `P-DEADLINE` is specified and is earlier than `P-START-TIME` or `P-LATEST-START`.
`12` | Invalid activation origin. This return code may be issued for internal calls of the API only.
`101` | Invalid function code.
`102` | Parameters missing.
`111` | Symbol table name contained reserved prefix `=EOR=`.
`120` | Owner must not be used. Applies to the reserved owner `WASTEBIN`, for example.
`121` | Owner does not exist.
`122` | Network version is required.
`901` | OK; subnetwork symbol prompting.
`DBENV` | A10 `BY VALUE` `OPTIONAL` | in | Database environment (reserved for future use).
`OWNER` | A10 `BY VALUE` | in | Owner of the job network. If a job is placed in hold status by means of the function `H`, this will be written to the log.
`NETWORK` | A10 `BY VALUE` | in | The job network.
`NETWORK-VERSION` | A10 `BY VALUE` `OPTIONAL` | in | Version name of the job network or `(current)` (see Reserved Version Names for Networks).

`SYMTAB` | A10 `BY VALUE` `OPTIONAL` | in | The symbol table.
`SYMTAB-VERSION` | A10 `BY VALUE` `OPTIONAL` | in | Symbol table version.
`START-TIME` | T | in | If zero (0), the network is activated immediately. Otherwise, the network is activated at the designated time. The field must contain both date and time.
out | Start time actually set.
`RUN` | I4 `BY VALUE RESULT` | in | Run number used by Entire Operations.
Functions `A` and `H`: When activating a single job, an existing run number can be entered. This should only be used for post activations of an active network. Functions `C`, `D`, `R` and `S`: Must be an existing run number of the job network. Function `X`: If 0, the network master is tested. Otherwise, an active network with this run number is tested.
out | Functions `A` and `H`: If 0, the next free run number is assigned. If not 0, this number is used; if this number is still active, the next free number in ascending order is used.
`8X` | `OPTIONAL` |  | Placeholder for 8 parameters that are intended for internal use. Required if you want to pass one or more of the following parameters.
`LATEST-START` | T `OPTIONAL` | in | If specified, the field must contain both date and time. For the activated run, the latest start passed here will override any other definitions on job or network level.
`DEADLINE` | T `OPTIONAL` | in | If specified, the field must contain both date and time. For the activated run, the deadline passed here will override any other definitions on job or network level.

Note
You can use this function from outside Entire Operations, as well as from user exits within Entire Operations. This function is comparable to the manual activation of networks or jobs in the Entire Operations online system.

### Activation with Symbol Modification

To activate a job or network and pass specific symbol values to this activation, proceed as follows

1. Activate the network and keep it in hold, with function `H`.

2. Use the returned run number to set symbols in the active symbol table(s) for this run. The API routine must be called NOPUSY7N.

3. After setting the symbol(s), release this activation with the `R` function.

   Notes:

   1. The parameters `START-TIME`, `EARLIEST-START` (optional), `DEADLINE` (optional) will be taken from the `R` (release) call.
   2. Active symbols, which are set here, will not be overwritten by a subsequent complete symbol table activation.

### Repetition of an Active Network

The field `P-JOB` may remain empty.

- If `P-JOB` is empty, all executed jobs of the active network will be repeated.

- If `P-JOB` contains a valid job name, the active network will be repeated, but the given job will be repeated as "dummy due to repetition".

The repetition also works correctly for jobs of type `NET` (subnetwork): subnetworks are also repeated, with their original run number.

The conditions `NET-BEGIN`, `NET-END` and `NET-END-NOTOK` will be reset before the repetition.

This API function enables you to repeat whole active networks, including subnetworks. Active conditions which are already set or reset will be backed out.

| Warning: You should exercise caution if the API NOPUAC5N function `T` is invoked for a network, in which jobs are currently executing. These will not be repeated. We recommend that you use this API function only for active networks, in which no job is currently executing.

## NOPUAS1N: Retrieve Numbers of Active Jobs in Defined Status Ranges

`S` | Set a condition. The date and/or run number are optional.
`T` | Test a condition. If a run number is specified, the time frame is not considered. If no time frame and no run number are specified, each condition with the specified name matches. If no run number is specified, the last run number for the time frame up to the current time is returned. If no time frame was given, the time belonging to this run number is returned in `P-TIME-FROM`.

## NOPUCS1N: Access Calendars and Schedules

This section covers the following topics:

- Accessing Dates within Calendars or Schedules

- Example for Using NOPUCS1N

### Accessing Dates within Calendars or Schedules

You can access dates within calendars or schedules using the following statement in your Natural application:

    CALLNAT 'NOPUCS1N'
        P-FUNCTION P-RC P-OBJECT-TYPE P-OWNER P-OBJECT P-DATE-A8

`P` | Determine the previous set date, from a start date.
`R` | Reset a date. Date will be removed from calendar or schedule.
`S` | Set a date. Date will be added to calendar or schedule.
`T` | Test a date. If date exists within calendar or schedule: `RC` contains `0`, otherwise `1`.
`1` | Set all dates in the calendar. Not supported for schedule.
`2` | For calendar: Reset all dates in the calendar. For schedule: Delete all schedule definitions. The schedule will remain as empty body.
`P-RC` | N3 | out | Return code:
`0` | Function OK, or date is set. Note For calendars, this means workday.
`1` | Date is not set. Note For calendars, this means holiday.
`2` | Object not found.

`4` | Object already existing.
`101` | Invalid function code.
`102` | Parameter(s) missing.
`103` | Invalid parameter combination.
`104` | Invalid object type.
`105` | Invalid date.
`106` | Table of explicit dates full.
`121` | Owner does not exist.
`P-OBJECT-TYPE` | A1 | in | Object type:
`N` | Network.
`C` | Calendar.
`H` | Schedule history.
`S` | Schedule.
`P-OWNER` | A10 | in | Owner of object.
out | Functions `C` and `D`: owner of determined object.
`P-OBJECT` | A10 | in | Name of object: owner name resp. schedule name. If `P-FUNCTION` is `N`, `P`, or `T`, and if a calendar is expected as object: You may use the reserved calendar name `=EOR=WORK7`. This pseudo-calendar is valid for any year and has all days defined as workdays. The value of `P-OWNER` is meaningless in this case.
out | Function codes `C` and `D`: name of determined object.
`P-DATE-A8` | A8 | in | Date in format: YYYYMMDD. `ALL` in this field means all years. This value applies for deletions.
out | Function codes `N` and `P`: the date found.

Notes:

1. Only function `T` (test a date) is allowed for object type `H` (schedule history).
2. Schedule history is usually available for the current year and previous two years.
3. Schedule dates can be set for the current year and the next year.
4. In calendars, a set date means workday, and a non-set date means holiday. The functions `N` and `P` work for a range of years. Limitations:
   For schedules, only the current and the previous year are available.
5. Calendars must be defined for all years in which a search is to be performed.
6. Function `A` deletes calendar/schedule master when `P-OBJECT-TYPE='C'` or `P-OBJECT-TYPE='S'`, respectively. In case calendar/schedule is for the current year, and if is referenced in schedule/network the `P-RC` value `3` (Object used in definitions) is returned. Calendars for past years will be deleted without reference check.
7. When a calendar is deleted (`P-FUNCTION='A'` and `P-OBJECT-TYPE='C'`), the value of `P-DATE-A8` shall be either in form YYYY or YYYYMMDD or constant `ALL`. Value `ALL` means: the calendar will be deleted for all defined years.

### Example for Using NOPUCS1N

The program calculates the first Monday of each month in 2008 and subsequently enters the network `REQUEST`/`NET001` for the calculated days in the schedule.

    * DETECT FIRST MONDAY IN MONTHS
    *
    DEFINE DATA
    LOCAL

## NOPUJI4N: Import Operating System Jobs into the Active Queue

You can activate a job in Entire Operations together with an existing operating system job number. This is possible if the job was submitted by any application and set to HOLD status.

Use the following statement:

    CALLNAT 'NOPUJI4N'
       P-FUNCTION P-RC P-OWNER P-NETWORK P-JOB P-RUN P-EXECUTION-NODE P-SYSOUT-NODE
                  P-SYSOUT-FILE P-BS2000-MONJV P-JOB-ID P-OS-JOB-NAME

### Parameter Description

Parameter | Format/Length | Use
--- | --- | ---
`P-FUNCTION` | A1 | in | Function code:
`I` | Import job, without prerequisite check.
`J` | Import job, with prerequisite check. The new active job is created with input and output condition definitions.
`P-RC` | I4 `BY VALUE RESULT` | out | Return code:
`0` | Function OK.
`101` | Invalid function code.
`102` | Parameter(s) missing.
`103` | `P-JOB-ID` value invalid:
`121` | Owner does not exist.
`P-OWNER` | A10 | in | Optional1.
`P-NETWORK` | A10 | in | Optional1.
`P-JOB` | A10 | in | Optional1.
`P-RUN` | I4 `BY VALUE RESULT` | in | Optional1. If `P-RUN` is set to zero (0), Entire Operations assigns a new run number; otherwise, the job is activated under the run number given. Job masters for imports with run number must be defined with the special type `R` to prevent automatic activation.
`P-EXECUTION-NODE` | I4 `BY VALUE` | in | Required. Execution node.
`P-SYSOUT-NODE` | I4 `BY VALUE` | in | Optional. Necessary only if `P-SYSOUT-FILE` is specified, and if `P-SYSOUT-NODE` is different from `P-EXECUTION-NODE`. Default: same value as `P-EXECUTION-NODE`.

    set -x
    exit $EXITCODE
assuming the `EXITCODE` file contains the exit code you want to set so that Entire Operations End-of-Job checking can parse the exit code from the SYSOUT. Linux: If a SYSOUT file is not given here and if a process with `PID = P-JOB-ID` is currently executing, Entire Operations tries to determine the SYSOUT file from the stdout assignment of the PID.
`P-BS2000-MONJV` | A250 `BY VALUE` | in | Optional. BS2000 monitor job variable. Specify this parameter only for BS2000, and only if the job was started in conjunction with a monitor job variable.
`P-JOB-ID` | A10 | in | Required. The job ID can be passed left-justified in this field, regardless of whether it is numeric or alphanumeric.
`P-OS-JOB-NAME` | A8 | in | Optional; from operating system.

1 The parameters `P-OWNER`, `P-NETWORK`, `P-JOB` and `P-RUN` are optional. If any of these are empty, `IMPORT` is used instead as owner, network and/or job name. Entire Operations will try to find a job definition for these values. If a definition is found, the new active job entry is supplied from it.

## NOPUJS2N: Job Schedule Inquiry and Modification

### Runtime Environment

- The API can be run under Entire Operations on mainframes, UNIX or Windows.

- With this API you can access only UNIX and Windows nodes.

- In the selected Natural environment you must define the steplib SYSEOR and the steplibs used by SYSEOR.

- The system files (System File 1, System Automation Tools Log File) used by Entire Operations must be defined by `LFILE` assignments.

### Programming Hints

> Preface

>   In general the call `OBJECT` / `FUNCTION` (e.g. `USER / LOGON`), starts `NOPUNX1N` with the requested object and function.

> Windows File Names

>   Windows file names can also be specified with a slash instead of a backslash.

>   Example:

>       c:/work/file1.txt

>   is equivalent to

>       c:\work\datei1.txt

> Session

>   All file operations are functional only during a valid session.

>   The session is started with `USER / LOGON`, and ends with `USER / LOGOFF`.

>   During a session the `SESSION-ID`, `UID` and `GID` are not to be changed.

> Course of Session

>       USER / LOGON
>       FILE / ...
>       FILE / ...
>       ...
>       USER / LOGOFF

### Opening and Closing a File

- Files must not be explicitly opened. This will be done automatically with the first call of `FILE / READ` or `FILE / WRITE`.

- After a read or write session, the file must be closed with the function `FILE / CLOSE`.

### Error Checking

After each call of NOPUNX1N, the error code is to be checked in `NOPUNX1A.RETURN-CODE`. In `NOPUNX1A.RETURN-TEXT` you can access the information.

### Reading a File

With the function `FILE / READ`, a file is read in sequential mode.

In `NOPUNX1A.F-LINE` you can name a line number to start.

If `NOPUNX1A.F-LINE` contains the value `0` (zero) or `1`, the read sequence starts at the beginning of the file.

> Scheme

>       USER / LOGON

>       R1. repeat
>          FILE / READ
>          if (NOPUNX1A.RETURN-CODE ne 0)
>              escape bottom (R1.)
>          end-if
>          ... handle record
>       end-repeat       /* R1.

>       FILE / CLOSE

>       USER / LOGOFF

### Searching for specific Data Sets in a File

With the function `FILE / SCAN`, it is possible to search for a specific string in a file. The search string must be present in `NOPUNX1A.F-SEARCH-TEXT`.

> Scheme

>       USER / LOGON

>       R1. repeat
>          FILE / SCAN
>          if (NOPUNX1A.RETURN-CODE ne 0)
>              escape bottom (R1.)
>          end-if
>          ... handle record
>          add 1 to NOPUNX1A.F-LINE
>       *           -- line start for follow-up scan
>       end-repeat       /* R1.

>       FILE / CLOSE

>       USER / LOGOFF

### Writing a File

With the function `FILE / WRITE`, a file is written in sequential mode.

> Scheme

>       USER / LOGON

>       R1. repeat
>          ... allocate record  in NOPUNX1A.F-RECORD-250
>       FILE / WRITE
>          if (...)
>              escape bottom (R1.)
>          end-if
>       end-repeat       /* R1.

>       FILE / CLOSE

>       USER / LOGOFF

### Reading and Writing a File Using a Large Buffer

The following is an example of using a large data buffer to read or write files.

1. Define a large data buffer:

       1 #BUFFER-99000 (A99000)

   Choose one of the following buffer types:

       NOPUNX1A.BUFFER-TYPE := 'B'              /* 9900 bytes
       NOPUNX1A.BUFFER-TYPE := 'C'              /* 99000 bytes
       NOPUNX1A.BUFFER-TYPE := 'D'              /* 59000 bytes

2. Call the API:

       CALLNAT 'NOPUNX1N' NOPUNX1A #BUFFER-99000

   The parameter definition of NOPUNX1N is:

       DEFINE DATA
       PARAMETER USING NOPUNX1A
       PARAMETER
       1 P-BUFFER-99000 (A99000)
         BY VALUE RESULT OPTIONAL
       ...
       END-DEFINE

Note
`#BUFFER-99000` can contain a maximum of 9900, 99000 or 59000 bytes depending on the size specified with `NOPUNX1A.BUFFER-TYPE`. The data written to the buffer can have less bytes but must not exceed the specified buffer size.

### Deleting a File

With the function `FILE / DELETE`, you can delete one or several files. If `F-FILE` contains a wildcard (*), all files will be deleted that match the wildcard.

### Copying a File

With the function `FILE / COPY`, the target file is passed on to `F-RECORD-250`.

### Scrolling or Renaming a File

With the function `FILE / MOVE`, the target file is passed on to `F-RECORD-250`.

### Verifying the Existence of a File

To verify the existence of a file, you can use the function `FILE / DIR` with a defined file name. If a 0 (zero) is returned to `NOPUNX1A.RETURN-CODE`, the files exists.

### Creating a List of Files of a Directory

With the function `FILE / DIR`, you can create a list of files of a directory. With the wildcard expression contained in `NOPUNX1A.F-FILE` you can keep the list small.

> Example

>   `/tmp/*` | All files in the directory /tmp.
>   `/tmp/*.txt` | All files in the directory /tmp that end with .txt.

>   The file names are stored in `F-RECORD-BUFFER`. The file names are separated by a semicolon (;) as indicated for `SHOW-DIR-BUFFER` in the following example.

>   If the buffer is not large enough for the file names, then the value 19 (more objects) is passed on to `NOPUNX1A.RETURN-CODE`.

> Scheme

>       USER / LOGON

>       ... allocate file name (with wildcard) in NOPUNX1A.F-FILE

>       R1. repeat
>       FILE / DIR
>          decide on first value of NOPUNX1A.RETURN-CODE
>              value 0, 19      /* 0: ok, 19: more objects
>                   perform SHOW-DIR-BUFFER
>              none value
>                   ignore
>          end-decide
>          if  NOPUNX1A.RETURN-CODE ne 19
>              escape bottom (R1.)
>          end-if
>          add 1 to NOPUNX1A.F-LINE
>       end-repeat       /* R1.

>       FILE / CLOSE

>       USER / LOGOFF

>       * ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>       DEFINE SUBROUTINE SHOW-DIR-BUFFER
>       *                 ---------------
>       * -- Function FILE / DIR:

`D` | Deletes a resource definition.
`M` | Used to modify the values `P-INIT-QTY`.
`T` | Returns the current values of `P-INIT-QTY` and `P-QTY`.

Notes:

1. Before using `M` for modifications, you should use `T` to read the present values (unless you want to enter an absolute value).
2. The currently used amount of a resource can no longer be modified directly. You must perform a resource allocation or deallocation with the API NOPURE1N to modify the currently used resource amount.

## NOPUSN2N: Inquire Calling Job or Called Network for Subnetworks

You can use this API to:

- Find the current subnetwork for a job of type `NET` (subnetwork);

- Find the current job calling a subnetwork.

`S` | Run number to be checked.
out | Function code:
`A` | Next active run number (in numerical order).
`R` | Last run number of the network in chronological order.
P-SYMTAB | A10 | out | Name of the defined symbol table. Function `R`: Name of the defined symbol table on the network level.

P-SYMTAB-VERSION | A10 | out | Version of the symbol table. The parameter only applies if `P-SYMTAB` contains a name.
P-JOB-ID | A10 | out | ID of the job (for single jobs only, and only if the job was already submitted).
P-STATUS-TIME | A14 | out | Timestamp when the current status of the job was set. Format: YYYYMMDDHHIISS.

### Inquire Status of Whole Active Network

Use function `S`. Leave the `P-JOB` parameter blank.

### Inquire Status of all Jobs of an Active Network Individually

Use function `N`. Delete the `P-JOB` parameter. Then invoke this API in a `REPEAT` loop until you get RC = 1 (network end).

Each call returns the status of a job. The name is contained in `P-JOB`. Do not change the content of `P-JOB`, because it is used as starting value for the next call.

### Inquire Symbol Table Used

The symbol table used is always returned for active networks and jobs.

For network masters and jobs, you can use the function `Y`.

Notes:

- The status inquiry functions independently of Monitor activity, because it uses database entries.

- For a whole network inquiry (with function `S`), the statuses of the individual jobs are linked with logical AND. In the worst case, if at least one job has failed, the status `failed` is returned for the whole network.

- An active network is considered to have `terminated OK` only if all its active jobs have `terminated OK`.

- The status inquiry is only possible as long as the network or job involved has not been deactivated.

- To obtain all active run numbers of a network, proceed as follows:

  1. Use function `A`.

  2. Begin with starting run number 0.

  3. Call the API.

  4. Terminate when RC is not equal to 0, or when the number returned for the active run is less than the number of the previous run.

  5. Keep result as next starting run number and continue with Step 3 (Call the API).

### Example of Using NOPUST3N

    ...
     1 #RC (N3)
     1 #OWNER (A10)
     1 #NETWORK (A10)
     1 #NETWORK-VERSION (A10)
     1 #JOB (A10)
     1 #RUN (I4)
     1 #SYMTAB (A10)
     1 #SYMTAB-VERSION (A10)
     1 #JOB-ID (A10)
     1 #STATUS-TIME (A14)
     ...

    CALLNAT 'NOPUST3N'
     'S' /* get status
      #RC 1X #OWNER #NETWORK #NETWORK-VERSION #JOB #RUN
      #SYMTAB #SYMTAB-VERSION #JOB-ID #STATUS-TIME

In the above example, `1X` is the placeholder for the `OPTIONAL` parameter `P-DBENV`.

## NOPUSY7N: Access Entire Operations Symbols

You can handle symbols in symbol tables using the following statement:

    CALLNAT 'NOPUSY7N'
        FUNCTION RC DBENV OWNER NETWORK NETWORK-VERSION RUN JOB SYMTAB SYMTAB-VERSION SYMBOL FORMAT
        VALUE USER TIME
       1X 1X
       VALUE-INDEX

Where:

`1X 1X` are placeholders for `OPTIONAL` parameters required for internal purpose only.

The other fields are returned as in function `T`. To find the first symbol of a symbol table, the symbol name can be omitted. If the end of the symbol table is reached, code `1` is returned. See also Sequential Reading in a Symbol Table.
`P` | Test next symbol to be prompted. Finds the next symbol in alphabetical order to be prompted for the current network/job run. Otherwise works like function code `N`.
`R` | Reset a symbol. The symbol is removed from the symbol table.
`S` | Set a symbol. If the symbol does not exist in the symbol table, it is inserted; if it already exists, it is overwritten.
`T` | Test a symbol. If the symbol is not found, code `1` is returned. If the symbol exists, its format and value are returned. The fields `USER` and `TIME` contain the user and timestamp of the last modification.
`1` | Test a symbol. If the symbol is not found, code `1` is returned. If the symbol exists, its format and value are returned. If the symbol value contains symbols, they will be resolved recursively. The fields `USER` and `TIME` contain the user and timestamp of the last modification.
`4` | Applies to active symbol tables only. Test next symbol and inquire its value, with recursive resolution. This function requires you to specify the following: A network and run number (in addition to owner). The `VALUE-INDEX` parameter. See also Sequential Reading in a Symbol Table.

Notes:

1. To access a symbol table master, the fields `NETWORK` and `RUN` must be empty. To access an active symbol table, the fields `NETWORK` and `RUN` must be supplied by the caller.
2. If a validation check user exit (see the section User Exits) is defined for the symbol, it is invoked from this API routine, too. Make sure that the user exit is accessible in the calling environment. The library containing the user exit must be defined as a steplib for the executing environment of these APIs. A symbol value is rejected if the exit returns `not OK` (`RC=10`) or if the exit is missing (`RC=11`).
3. All actions will be logged.
4. The API is can also read the values of predefined symbols (described in Symbol Table and Symbol Maintenance).
5. Symbol created by this API will get the symbol prompting setting `N` (never). See also Symbol Prompting during Network or Job Activation in the section Symbol Table and Symbol Maintenance.

### Sequential Reading in a Symbol Table

To read symbols sequentially from a master or an active symbol table

1. Set the function to `N`.

2. If you want to start reading at the start of the table, reset `SYMBOL` first; otherwise put a start name into `SYMBOL`.

3. Call the user exit in a `REPEAT` loop; leave it if `RC` is not `0` and not `20`.

4. Leave `SYMBOL` unchanged as the start value for the next call.

5. Reset `VALUE` before the next call if `RC=0`.

6. Do not reset `VALUE` if `RC=20`.

To read symbols sequentially from an active symbol table

1. Set the function to `4`.

2. If you want to start reading at the start of the table, reset `SYMBOL` first; otherwise put a start name into `SYMBOL`.

3. Leave `SYMBOL` and `VALUE-INDEX` unchanged as the start values for the next call.

4. Reset `VALUE` before the next call if `RC=0`.

5. Do not reset `VALUE-INDEX` if `RC=20`.

### Example of Sequential Symbol Table Reading

    MOVE 'N' TO FUNCTION
    RESET SYMBOL-NAME
    R1.  REPEAT
         CALLNAT 'NOPUSY7N' RC  ...

         DECIDE ON FIRST VALUE OF RC
         VALUE 0, 20 IGNORE
         VALUE 1 ESCAPE BOTTOM (R1.)
         NONE VALUE
                /* Error handling
         END-DECIDE
                /* process symbol here
         IF RC NE 20
              RESET VALUE
         END-IF
    END-REPEAT
