Purpose
Posts an ECB, including the one established by DBCHUE.
The alternate six-character name for DBCHPEC is DBCHPE.
Interface
This routine is called with the following parameters, stylistically presented (the actual syntax varies according to the programming language being used):
DBCHPEC(ReturnCode,ECB)
In high-level languages, the details of the parameter list are handled by the compiler. For Assembler, the parameter list consists of contiguous 4 byte entries, each containing the 31 bit address of a parameter. The last address has the first bit set to one to indicate the end of the list.
The parameters for this routine are:
| Argument | Content |
|---|---|
| ReturnCode | A 4 byte unsigned integer field into which the return code will be placed by CLIv2. |
| ECB | The application allocated area for use as the ECB. |
Usage Notes
- After control returns from DBCHPEC, the variable contains a code whose value represents success or failure. A return code of zero indicates success, a nonzero return code indicates failure, and the value specifies the reason for the failure.
- After the call, the return code variable contains a return code.
