Syntax:

call "CBL_AUDIT_EMITTER_PROPERTY_GET" using by value     flags
                                            by reference emitter-name
                                            by reference property-name
                                            by reference property-vallen
                                            by reference property-value
                                               returning status-code

Parameters:

  Typedef Picture
flags cblt-x4-comp5 pic x(4) comp-5
emitter-name pic x(n) pic x(n)
property-name pic x(n) pic x(n)
property-vallen cblt-x4-comp5 pic x(4) comp-5
property-value pic x(n) pic x(n)

On Entry:

flags
Bit Value Meaning
0 0 Return string value. Use bit 1 to determine string terminator
  1 Return integer value. Ignore bit 1.
1 0 Return the value as a space-terminated string
  1 Return the value as a null-terminated string
2-27   Reserved for future use (must be 0)
28 0 emitter-name is space-terminated
  1 emitter-name is null-terminated
29 0 property-name is space-terminated
  1 property-name is null-terminated
30-31   Reserved for future use (must be 0)
emitter-name
Space- or null-terminated (depending upon setting of bit 28) case-insensitive emitter name.
property-name
Space- or null- terminated (depending upon setting of bit 29) case-insensitive property name.
property-vallen
Length of property-value buffer in which property value is to be returned. The routine fails if this is too small for the value to be returned.

Ignored if value is being returned as an integer.

On Exit:

property-vallen Length of returned string value in property-value buffer. Length does not include termination character.

If property-value is null, or if the specified buffer length is too small for the value to be returned, property-vallen will be set to the required buffer length.

Not set if the value is being returned as an integer.

property-value Buffer in which the property value is to be returned. This is either a pic x(n) field for a value being returned as a string, or a pic x(4) comp-5 field for a value being returned as an integer.

A null property-value may be specified to request that the API returns the required buffer length to hold the specified property value.

Return Codes:

78-AUD-RET-SUCCESS
78-AUD-RET-NOT-ENOUGH-MEMORY
78-AUD-RET-PROPERTY-NOT-FOUND
78-AUD-RET-BUFFER-TOO-SMALL
78-AUD-RET-VALUE-NOT-INTEGER
78-AUD-RET-EMITTER-NOT-FOUND

Comments:

CBL_AUDIT_EMITTER_PROPERTY_GET is used to retrieve a named property value for the emitter with name emitter-name. The function would typically by used by an emitter during its initialisation to determine how it had been configured.

Examples:

Get two property values associated with the "AUDITFILE" emitter: one a space-terminated string value, one an integer value.

copy "mfaudit.cpy ".

01 emitter-name    pic x(10) value " AUDITFILE".
01 flags           pic x(4) comp-5.
01 prop-integer    pic x(4) comp-5.
01 prop-len        pic x(4) comp-5.
01 prop-string     pic x(100).
