HPMERGEEND

Syntax

              I32     I32A
  HPMERGEEND (status, statistics);

Parameters

status

32-bit signed integer by reference (optional)

Returns the status of the HPMERGEEND call. If no errors or warnings are encountered, status returns 32 bits of zero. If errors or warnings are encountered, status is interpreted as two 16-bit fields.

Bits (0:16) comprise status.info. A negative value indicates an error condition, and a positive value indicates a warning condition. Refer to the MPE/iX Error Message Manual Volumes 1, 2 and 3 for a description of its value.

Bits (16:16) comprise status.subsys. The value represented by these bits defines the subsystem that set the status information. The subsystem identifier for HPMERGEEND is 196.

statistics

32-bit signed integer array (optional)

Returns information on the Hewlett-Packard MERGE operation, as follows:

Value

Meaning

1

Number of input files

2

Number of merged records

3

Number of bytes used for the MERGE/XL work area

4

CPU time in milliseconds

5

Elapsed time in milliseconds

NOTE: The statistics array should be the same array that was passed to the HPMERGEINIT intrinsic. It must be referenced by the same name.
