SDGetRelList 

Retrieves all relationships of the specified relationship type which are
accessible by the current scope.

Syntax 

     SDGetRelList (Dcb,RelationshipType,RelationshipClass,AccessSet, 
                    RetrievalID,EntityList,Status)

Parameters 

Dcb                       Required input; type = DcbType 
                          This parameter passes information about the
                          dictionary to this intrinsic.  It is
                          initialized by the SDOpen intrinsic.

RelationshipType          Required input; type = RelationshipTypeList 
                          This parameter specifies the relationship type
                          of the relationships to be retrieved.

RelationshipClass         Required input; type = NameOrNumberType 
                          This parameter specifies the class of the
                          relationship type.  Blanks or a 0 may be
                          specified for this parameter when the entity
                          types specified in the RelationshipType 
                          parameter uniquely identify a relationship
                          type.

AccessSet                 Required input by value; type = 4 byte Integer 
                          This parameter specifies the set of
                          relationships to return.  This set may include
                          some or all of the relationships of the
                          specified type in the dictionary, and is
                          decoded as follows:

                          Note :  Bit 0 is the rightmost bit.

                          Bit 0                     When set, specifies
                                                    retrieval of all
                                                    relationships owned
                                                    by the current scope.

                          Bit 1                     When set, specifies
                                                    retrieval of all
                                                    relationships
                                                    accessible by the
                                                    scope through a
                                                    relationship/scope
                                                    association.

                          Bit 2                     When set, specifies
                                                    retrieval of all
                                                    relationships which
                                                    are public, and not
                                                    owned by or
                                                    associated to the
                                                    current scope.

                                                    Note:  When this bit
                                                    is set, and if the
                                                    current scope is the
                                                    DA scope, this
                                                    intrinsic will return
                                                    all relationships not 
                                                    owned by the DA
                                                    scope.

                          Bits 3-31                 Set to zero

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 relationships
                          of the specified relationship type.

                          To find the first relationship, initialize the
                          first four bytes of this parameter to a binary
                          zero.  To find additional relationships, call
                          this intrinsic once for each relationship to be
                          returned.

EntityList                Output; type = EntityListOutType 
                          This parameter returns the names of all
                          entities in the relationship.

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 3-1.

Discussion 

The following restrictions apply when using this intrinsic:

   1.  Open mode--The dictionary must be opened in Shared Read mode,
       Shared Read-Only mode, Shared Update mode, or Exclusive Update 
       mode.

   2.  Security--The current scope must be either the Dictionary
       Administrator scope or a scope with Read capability.
