Retrieves all attributes defined in the dictionary structure or of a
specified attribute data type.
Syntax
SDGetAttrList (Dcb,AttributeType,RetrievalID,Attribute,Status)
Parameters
Dcb Required input; type = DcbType
This parameter passes information about the
dictionary to this intrinsic. It is
initialized by the SDOpen intrinsic.
AttributeType Required input by value; type = 4 byte Integer
This parameter specifies the attribute data
type of the attributes to be retrieved. A zero
may be passed for this parameter to retrieve
all attributes defined in the dictionary
structure regardless of type. Valid values
are:
0 = All types (in no particular order)
1 = Alias name
2 = Boolean
3 = Character
4 = Floating Point
5 = Integer
6 = Variable Character
RetrievalID Required input; Output; type = RetrievalIDType
This parameter is used internally to pass
information between multiple calls of this
intrinsic, to retrieve all of the attributes in
the dictionary.
To find the first attribute, initialize the
first four bytes of this parameter to a binary
zero. To find additional attributes, call this
intrinsic once for each attribute to be
returned.
Attribute Output; type = NameType
This parameter returns the name of an attribute
for each successful call of the intrinsic.
Status Output; type = StatusType
This parameter contains information indicating
the success or failure of the intrinsic call.
This information is detailed in Table Table
3-1, located in Chapter 3 of this manual.
If this intrinsic is successful, the Status
parameter contains the following information,
in addition to the description contained in
Table Table 3-1.
