QMF provides two function calls for the FORTRAN language: DSQCIF and DSQCIFE. Both calls are described in the communications macro DSQCOMMF.
This call is for QMF commands that do not require access to application program variables. Use this call for most QMF commands.
RC = DSQCIF(DSQCOMM, + CMDLTH, + CMDSTR)
The parameters have the following values:
This call has an extended syntax for the three commands that require access to application program variables: START and the extended formats of GET GLOBAL and SET GLOBAL.
The syntax for this call is:
RC = DSQCIFE(DSQCOMM, + CMDLTH, + CMDSTR, + PNUM, + KLTH, + KWORD, + VLTH, + VALUE, + VTYPE)
The parameters have the following values:
You can use an array of characters if all of the keywords have the same length. QMF assumes that the keywords are in contiguous storage and are not separated by any special delimiters.
Its type is specified in the VTYPE parameter and can be a character, structure of characters, integer parameter, or parameter array. If you have character values, QMF assumes that the values are in contiguous storage, not separated by any special delimiters.
All of the values specified in the VALUE field must have the data type specified in VTYPE.
