Usage Notes
The Total Length field specifies the length of the DBCAREA in bytes.
Language | Variable Name |
---|---|
COBOL: | DBCAREA-TOTAL-LEN |
C: DBCAREA.H: | total_len |
Routine | Action Taken |

DBCHINI: | reads |
DBCHCL: | reads |
Used by | Action Taken |

application program | writes |
Total Length must be initialized by the application program before calling DBCHINI. The current length of the DBCAREA is 1024 bytes, but it is preferable to use a symbolic value rather than a constant.
