WQE (input order)
Enables the WQE for conversion. Always use the SUBSTR order following
WQE and determine the positions needed by consulting mapping IHAWQE.
The SUBSTR order uses a position.length (starting with one) and not an offset
(starting with zero). The maximum allowable character string length for
revision orders is 127.
For example, the WQEMCSC command response flag is not typically accessible
with an edit order. From a listing, we can determine that WQEMCSC is at
offset X'AC' (decimal 172) in the WQE and it is the third bit in that byte.
Therefore, the edit phrase WQE SUBSTR 173.1 c2b substr 3.1 yields either a
character 1 or a character 0, according to the value of the WQEMCSC flag.
WTOKEY (input order)
Obtains the key field associated with the WTO system macro, which is the
WQEKEY in system macro IHAWQE.
Conversion Orders
Conversion orders, if specified, must be in an edit phrase. That is, they must come
after an input order and before an output order.
Multiple conversion orders can occur sequentially within the same edit phrase.
Each subsequent conversion order operates on the results of the previous
conversion order with the first conversion order operating on the text provided by
the input order. Any number of sequential conversion orders can be included in a
single edit phrase.
ASTYPE (conversion order)
Specifies that the input contains a two–byte binary ASID value. A
one–character value is returned as indicated in Table 8.

Value Description
D USS persistent procedure.
PIPE EDIT
The address space has a name for initiated programs, appropriate for a JOB.
However, the existence of an OpenMVS address space block indicates a special
purpose USS persistent procedure.
J The address space is a JOB.
N The address space is a system address space started during operating system
initialization (NIP) processing.
S The address space is a Started Task (STC).
T The address space is a Time-Sharing User (TSO).
U The address space is a USS forked or spawned procedure.
> Error: the supplied ASID is larger than the allowed ASID limit for the system
* Error: the supplied ASID is not currently assigned (no such address space).
? Error: inconsistent data (might be a transient condition).
! Error: inconsistent data.
