Return Time - Call-Level Interface Version 2

Return Time

Usage Notes

The Return Time field specifies whether or not time stamps are to be generated for the application program.

Language	Variable Name
COBOL:	DBCAREA-RET-TIME
C: DBCAREA.H:	ret_time

Routine	Action Taken
DBCHINI:	writes
DBCHCL:	reads (CON; RSUP: IRQ; FET; REW; ERQ; ABT)

Used by	Action Taken
application program	writes

Return Time is initialized by DBCHINI to the default value provided for Return Time in the site’s SPB.

If the value provided is not appropriate for the application, before calling DBCHCL, the application program may set:

Change Options to Y, and

Return Time to:

Y, if time stamps are to be provided.

N, if time stamps are not to be provided.

When time stamps are specified for the Fetch function, the time stamps provided are only valid on the first call to DBCHCL for the Fetch function. The time stamps may be changed later, for instance, if DBCHCL exchanges information with the Teradata Database to keep the response buffer stocked.

It is recommended that only diagnostic applications use the time stamp capability.

The Fetch, Rewind, End Request, and Abort functions read and use the value of Return Code, but do not store it.
