PIPE EDIT
108 Programming: Pipes
SESSID (input order)
Specifies that the edit phrase input is the TAF session ID or, following a PPI
pipe receive stage, is the SAF ID of the PPI sender.
SYSCONID (input order)
Use as input the 8-character MVS System Console name. If the message was
not received from MVS, blanks are returned.
SYSCONID is synonymous with IFRAUCON.
SYSNAME (input order)
Use as input the 8-character name of the system from which the message
originated. If the message was issued locally, the name of the local system is
returned. If the message is a remote message (one which originated on another
system in a sysplex), the name returned is the remote system name, which is
different from the local system name. You can compare the value returned with
the &SYSNAME. system symbolic to determine whether the message is local or
remote.
UCHARS (input order)
Obtains the 16-byte "user char" area. In the MRT, this field is available only if
previously set. In PIPE EDIT, this field is equivalent to IFRAUSRC.
UFLAGS (input order)
Obtains the 2-byte "user flags" area. In the MRT, this field is available only if
previously set.
WORD (input order)
WORD is similar to position.length in that it specifies that a subset of the data
received on the input data stream is used as input to EDIT. Unlike
position.length, WORD counts blank delimited tokens or words within the input
data. A word ends when a blank is encountered. The next word begins with
the next nonblank character.
Startword.numwords must be specified.
Startword indicates the starting word within the current line. By default,
startword is counted from the first word of the line.
Startword can be a positive or negative number. A negative value for startword
indicates that the starting position is to be counted from the end of the current
line, rather than from the beginning.
Numwords is an unsigned, positive number indicating the number of words
from startword to be processed. An asterisk (*) can be specified for numwords
indicating that all words after startword are to be used. Startword without
numwords and the period (.) separator defaults numwords to 1.
If numwords is larger than the available words, all available words are used.
The LEFT conversion order can be used to pad the resulting text if required.
Note: The PARSE global order can affect the way words are defined.
Consider the following message:
PIPES CAN BE FUN!
This ... Results in ...
WORD 1.* PIPES CAN BE FUN!
WORD 2.2 CAN BE
WORD -2.* BE FUN!
