Variable-Length Records - Function Definition - mfx - 3.1

This parameter points to a variable containing exit status codes. See the exit_status definition for a fixed-length C E15 exit for the code definitions.

The record_up parameter contains a “universal” pointer to the record being passed to the E15 from the SORTIN. The void* pointer can be cast to point an appropriate structure to describe the record passed to the exit. This allows different record struc­tures, as is common with variable-length records, to share a single pointer definition.

The work parameter contains a "universal" pointer to a work area that is to be used to hold an inserted or replaced record returned from the E15. The void* pointer can be cast to point an appropriate structure to describe the work record.

These parameters define unused place holders. They are used with C E35 communication. Their definition here allows a common parameter list for C E15 and E35 exits.

This parameter points to a variable that defines the length of the SORTIN record passed to the E15. This is the length of the record referred to in the record_up parameter.

This parameter points to a variable that defines the length of the record to be inserted or used as a replacement for the record_up record. This is the length of the record referred to in the work parameter. This field must be set by the exit when an insert or replace operation is performed.

This parameter points to a variable that defines the communication area length.
