This topic describes the use of the of "LL" and "ZZ" fields in an IMS™ PL/I application.
Problem:
The LL field in PL/I language structures is treated correctly as 2 bytes by the PL/I XML Converter in IMS Connect only when the names of the first 2 fields in the language structure exactly match "LL" and "ZZ" (As shown in the italic strings below).
DCL 1 INPMSG,
10 LL FIXED BIN(31),
10 ZZ BIT(16),
10 TRANCODE CHAR(8),
10 BLANK CHAR(1),
10 INDATA,
30 FUNC CHAR(3),
:
Solution:
Rename the first two fields to "LL" and "ZZ" respectively and regenerate the PL/I XML Converter.
