Hi,
I am working on enhancement project.
it uses IMS-DC where i find extensive use of '3F' in messages that are thrown to screen. Please let me know its use in programming. example is given below
Code: |
03 W07-SYSTEM-ERROR-MESSAGES.
05 W07-ERROR-MSG1.
10 FILLER PIC X(48) VALUE
'NO DATA ENTERED - ENTER DATA OR SPECIAL FUNCTION'.
10 W07-ERR-END1 PIC X VALUE X'3F'.
05 W07-ERROR-MSG2.
10 FILLER PIC X(21) VALUE
'SPECIAL FUNCTION KEY '.
10 W07-MSG2-SPEC-FUNC PIC X VALUE SPACE.
10 FILLER PIC X(24) VALUE
' INVALID WHEN IN INSPECT'.
10 W07-ERR-END2 PIC X VALUE X'3F'. |
Thanks
Anoop |

X'3F'is used to shorten the message sent from the program thus improving performance. It's specially used when the message is fixed length. It's placed at the end of the messages and tells IMS this was the complete message though the received length isn't. |
