IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Programming: Pipes - IBM notice

PIPE EDIT
RIGHT (conversion order)
Specifies that the input data is to be truncated or padded to the length
specified by number. Characters are counted from the end, or right, of the
input. If padding is required, the character specified on the most recent PAD
global order is used.
RVAR (conversion order)
From input revision variable name, returns the current value.
STRIP (conversion order)
Specifies that padding characters at the start or end of the data are to be
removed. The padding character is defined by the most current PAD global
order specification within the edit phrase.
STRIPL (conversion order)
Specifies that padding characters at the beginning of the data are to be
removed. The padding character is defined by the most current PAD global
order specification within the edit phrase.
STRIPR (conversion order)
Specifies that any padding characters at the end of the data are to be removed.
The padding character is defined by the most current PAD global order
specification within the edit phrase.
SUBSTR (conversion order)
Specifies that a subset of the input data is to be selected. Position.length
indicates the starting position and length of data to be selected. For
information about defining position.length, see “position.length” on page 92.
If padding is required for the data to be the required length, the characters
specified by the most current PAD global order is used.
UPCASE (conversion order)
UPCASE translates the standard 26-character Latin letters (as defined in code
page 037) to uppercase.
V2C (conversion order)
Specifies that the input data is a displayable string and is to be converted to a
variable length string prefixed with a 2-byte, unsigned length value.
V2C is the inverse of C2V.
This conversion order is particularly useful when dealing with data interacting
with the SQL pipe stage.
X2C (conversion order)
Specifies that the input data is converted from displayable hexadecimal
notation to internal binary representation. For example, if the input is X'C1C2',
C2X returns the hexadecimal values X'AB'. The resulting hexadecimal value is
half the length of the original.
X2C is the inverse of C2X.
YESNO (conversion order)
Specifies that the first byte of the input data is converted from a bit string to a
value of Yes or No. If any bit in the first byte is a one (1), Yes is returned. If all
bits in the first byte are zero (0), No is returned. The case of the character string
is exactly as displayed, Yes or No.
This conversion order is particularly useful when using the IFRAUCPY,
IFRAUPPT, IFRAUPRI, and IFRAUSEC msgattr input orders.
