Purpose
Logs off all sessions and free all internal memory and context information allocated by CLIv2.
Interface
This routine is called with the following parameters, stylistically presented (the actual syntax varies according to the programming language being used):
DBCHCLN(ReturnCode,ContextArea)
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 | Four-byte unsigned integer field into which the return code is placed by CLIv2. |
ContextArea | Four-byte unsigned integer field for internal use by CLIv2. |
Usage Notes
- The application invokes the DBCHCLN routine when all processing requiring interfacing with the database is complete.
- DBCHCLN does the following:
- Logs off any idle sessions
- Awaits completion of any active sessions and then logs them off
- Frees all internal memory and context information allocated by CLIv2.
- DBCHCLN deallocates internal data structures that were allocated by DBCHINI.
- DBCHCLN returns control to the application after all sessions have been logged off and all internal context has been cleaned up.
- After control returns from DBCHCLN, the variable contains a code whose value represents success or failure to clean up.
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.
- After the call, CLIv2 changes ContextArea for its own purposes.
- The call to DBCHCLN does not deallocate the DBCAREA.
The application may itself deallocate the DBCAREA if the programming language provides that ability.
- Termination of the application has the same effect as DBCHCLN, but it is good programming practice to call DBCHCLN for cleanup.
