Mechanism‑data‑ptr
If additional data is required by the specified Mechanism‑name, Mechanism‑data‑ptr addresses that data, specified in the character set specified by Mechanism‑data‑encoding. If Variable‑length‑request is set to 'N', the data itself is addressed and its length is specified by Mechanism‑data‑len. If Variable‑length‑request is set to 'Y', the data follows a two‑byte field that contains the length of the data (Mechanism‑data‑len is ignored). If a Mechanism‑name is not specified, the value will be ignored.
Mechanism‑data‑ptr exists only when DBCHINI had been called for a DBCAREA with Total‑length set to at least 640 (that is, the returned DBCAREA Level value is at least 1). For a smaller DBCAREA, Mechanism‑data‑ptr is ignored.
Note: Logon mechanisms are currently not supported for a mainframe-connected system.
