Adapter program data-containers are associated with an adapter service and adapter program-related processing. They are used to store the state and status data and information required by the Adapter program (Adapter activity).
Container Type | Contents and usage | Size (bytes) | Name | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
OUTPUT | Application data that will be sent in the adapter reply
message Navigation Manager writes a copy of Adapter activity output container for purposes of returning adapter reply message |
variable max. 32,760 | ADAPTER.OUTPUT | In synchronous mode, the maximum reply length is 32,376 bytes |
STATUS | Status information:
|
512 | ADAPTER.STATUS | No comments |
LOCAL CONTEXT | Application context private to Adapter activity. | Compiler limit for IBM® COBOL |
ADAPTER.LOCAL.C | Optional based on modeling. Used in asynchronous mode only. |
ITERATION | Application work area required for modeled iterative processing. | Compiler limit for IBM COBOL |
ADAPTER.ITERATE | Optional based on modeling. Used in asynchronous mode only. |
