When Parcel‑mode applications fetch the results of a request, the parcel flavor is returned in the DBCAREA DBCOPFLV field, the length of the body of the parcel in the DBFOFDL field, and the address of the parcel body in the DBFXFDP field. Thus, such applications do not concern themselves with the actual parcel header, only the parcel body. While the length of the original parcel included the length of the header, the length returned in the DBCAREA does not.
