HP System Dictionary XL Intrinsics

SDGetScopeList 

Returns a list of scopes in the dictionary.

Syntax 

     SDGetScopeList (Dcb,RetrievalID,Scope,Status)

Parameters 

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

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 scopes in the
                          dictionary.

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

Scope                     Output ; type = NameType 
                          This parameter returns the name of one scope
                          for each successful call of this 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.

Discussion 

The following restrictions apply when using this intrinsic:

   1.  Open mode--The dictionary can be opened in any mode.

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

       If the current scope is not the DA scope, only the current scope
       and those scopes owned by the current scope, will be returned.
