INFOR Information
The range for number of characters and number of words in the symbolic subfield is as
follows:
SFN Subfield Name Number of Characters Number of Words
1 File qualifier 1 to 12 1 or 2
2 File name 1 to 12 1 or 2
3 File cycle 1 to 3 1
4 Read key 1 to 6 1
5 Write key 1 to 6 1
6 Element name 1 to 12 1 or 2
7 Version name 1 to 12 1 or 2
8 Element cycle 1 to 3 1
G.3. INFOR Table Conventions
The following conventions are used when generating the INFOR data:
• Except for one special situation, a subfield description is generated only if symbolic
subfield information has been entered for that subfield number in the processor call
statement. The exception is if a field in the processor call statement contains a file
name with a leading asterisk (*) character. For this situation, a subfield description is
generated as if a qualifier of 12 spaces had been entered in that field in the
processor call statement.
• If a field in the processor call statement contains a leading period, the first subfield
description generated for the field will contain a value of 075 in the FCI part of the
subfield control word.
• If the symbolic information in the processor call statement uses a character type
other than Fieldata, it is first translated into Fieldata before being put in the INFOR
table. For example, if lowercase ASCII characters are entered in the processor call
statement, the symbolic subfields in the INFOR table will contain the corresponding
uppercase characters in Fieldata.
• If a processor call statement is continued onto more than one line using the
semicolon (;), the INFOR is generated as if the call statement were on one line.
