PARSEEFD-GET-FIELD-INFO
The PARSEEFD-GET-FIELD-INFO function retrieves information about the field.
Syntax:
 CALL "C$PARSEEFD" USING PARSEEFD-GET-FIELD-INFO
                         efdHandle
                         fieldNum
                         PARSEEFD-FIELD-DESCRIPTION
                  GIVING returnCode
Parameters:
PARSEEFD-GET-FIELD-INFO
Constant
 
efdHandle
USAGE HANDLE
Handle returned by the PARSEEFD-PARSE function.
fieldNum
PIC 9(n)
Specifies the field number.
A value of 0 references the first field, a value of 1 references the second field, a value of 2 references the third field, and so on.

PARSEEFD-FIELD-OFFSET
Offset of the field in the record buffer (zero-based).
PARSEEFD-FIELD-LENGTH
Number of bytes this field requires.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-TYPE
Numeric representation of the field type. The types are defined in isparseefd.def.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-DIGITS
Either the number of digits in this numeric field, or the length if the field is non-numeric.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-SCALE
Either the scale of the numeric field or 0 if the field is non-numeric. The scale is defined as the power of ten by which the numeric value must be multiplied in order to get the actual value. For example, if the scale is -2, then there are two digits to the right of the decimal point.
PARSEEFD-USER-TYPE
Describes some of the EFD directives, as listed in isparseefd.def.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-CONDITION
Condition that the field depends on. A condition of 0 means that the field is always included; 999 means that the field will never be included.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-LEVEL
Level number of the field in the FD used to create this EFD.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-NAME
Name of the field. If EXCLUDE-ARRAYS was NOT used when parsing the EFD, and the field is part of a table, then the field name may include array indices.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-FORMAT
Date format specified in the DATE Directive
PARSEEFD-FIELD-OCCURS-DEPTH
Number of valid elements in the OCCURS-TABLE.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-OCCURS-TABLE
Information about the element of a table. The OCC-MAX-IDX is the maximum index allowed. The OCC-THIS-IDX is the index of this element.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-IN-KEY-FLAG
Indicates whether this field is part of a key. The value is Y if this field is a part of one or more keys, or N if not.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-SECONDARY-FLAG
Reserved for future use.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-HIDDEN-FLAG
Indicates whether the HIDDEN Directive was used on this field. The value is Y if so or N if not.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-READ-ONLY-FLAG
Indicates whether the READ-ONLY Directive was used on this field.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-DBTYPE
Alphanumeric representation of the type that will be used on the database for this field. This value is space if no EFD directives were used for this field.
PARSEEFD-FIELD-TYPE-DESCRIPTION
Alphanumeric representation of the field type.
Return code:
returnCode can be any signed numeric data item and provides additional information:
1
Operation successful.
0
Operation failed. Either the EFD handle or the field number is invalid.
