MCGetAttr

Required; 16-bit signed integer by value; input. This is the unique resource ID number assigned to this conversation when it was allocated. See MCAllocate or MCGetAllocate, in this chapter, for more information.

Required; 32-bit signed integer; output. Indicates the result of intrinsic execution. See the "Status Parameter" section, earlier in this chapter, for more information.

character array; output. If the specified conversation is using a dependent LU to communicate with a Type 5 node (like an IBM mainframe), this parameter is not implemented and returns a 17-character array of blanks.

If the specified conversation is using an independent LU on MPE XL to communicate with a Type 2.1 node (like an IBM AS/400), this is a 17-character array that returns the fully qualified LU name of the local LU. It has the form NetID.LUName, where NetID and LUName are the names of the local SNA network and the local LU configured in the APPC subsystem configuration. See the APPC Subsystem on MPE XL Node Manager's Guide for information on APPC subsystem configuration.

character array; output. This is an 8-character ASCII array, left justified and padded with blanks. It returns the name of the remote LU used by the remote TP. PartnerLUName is the name by which the local LU knows the remote LU. PartnerLUName is returned only on a conversation using a dependent LU to communicate with a Type 5 node (like an IBM mainframe).

character array; output. If the specified conversation is using a dependent LU to communicate with a Type 5 node (like an IBM mainframe), this parameter is not implemented and returns a 17-character array of blanks.

If the specified conversation is using an independent LU on MPE XL to communicate with a Type 2.1 node (like an IBM AS/400), this is a 17-character array that returns the fully qualified LU name of the LU used by the remote TP. It has the form NetID.LUName, where NetID is the name of the SNA network where the remote node resides, and LUName is the local name for the remote LU configured in the APPC subsystem configuration. See the APPC Subsystem on MPE XL Node Manager's Guide for information on APPC subsystem configuration. PartnerFullyQualifiedLUName is returned only on conversations using independent LUs.

character array; output. This is an 8-character array, left justified and padded with blanks. It returns the mode name configured for the APPC session on which the conversation is allocated. This parameter matches the mode name configured for the SessionType specified in the call to MCAllocate or MCGetAllocate. For more information on mode configuration, see the LU 6.2 API/V Node Manager's Guide or the APPC Subsystem on MPE XL Node Manager's Guide.

16-bit signed integer; output. The synchronization level (whether or not confirmation is used) established for this conversation. Possible values are as follows:

0 = CONFIRM

Denotes that the MCConfirm and MCConfirmed intrinsics can be called. It also means that the confirm request option of any intrinsic may be used.

2 = NONE

Denotes that no confirmation will be used. If the SyncLevel is 2, the MCConfirm and MCConfirmed intrinsics cannot be called during this conversation, nor can the confirm request option of any intrinsic be used during this conversation.
