CL Programming

Attributes of a Variable Examples

The Attribute (ATTR) debug command permits you to display the attributes of a variable. The attributes are the size (in bytes) and type of the variable as recorded in the debug symbol table on Table 10-1.

The following is an example using the ATTR debug command.

CL declaration:   DCL    VAR(&CHAR2) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
 
Debug command:     ATTR &CHAR2
 
Result:            TYPE = FIXED LENGTH STRING, LENGTH = 10 BYTES
 
 
CL declaration:   DCL    VAR(&DEC) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(3 1)
 
Debug command:     ATTR &DEC
 
Result:            TYPE = PACKED(3,1), LENGTH = 2 BYTES
