A feedback token contains feedback information in the form of a condition token. The condition token set by the callable service is returned to the calling routine, indicating whether the service completed successfully.
COBOL for AIX uses the same feedback token as Language Environment, which is defined as follows:
01 FC.
02 Condition-Token-Value.
COPY CEEIGZCT.
03 Case-1-Condition-ID.
04 Severity PIC S9(4) COMP.
04 Msg-No PIC S9(4) COMP.
03 Case-2-Condition-ID
REDEFINES Case-1-Condition-ID.
04 Class-Code PIC S9(4) COMP.
04 Cause-Code PIC S9(4) COMP.
03 Case-Sev-Ctl PIC X.
03 Facility-ID PIC XXX.
02 I-S-Info PIC S9(9) COMP.
The contents of each field and the differences from IBM Language Environment on the host are as follows:
The sample copybook CEEIGZCT.CPY defines the condition tokens. The condition tokens in the file are equivalent to those provided by Language Environment, except that character representations are in ASCII instead of EBCDIC. You must take these differences into account if you compare the condition tokens with those provided by Language Environment.
The descriptions of the individual callable services include a listing of the symbolic feedback codes that might be returned in the feedback code output field specified on invocation of the service. In addition to these, the symbolic feedback code CEE0PD might be returned for any callable service. See message IWZ0813S for details.
All date and time callable services are based on the Gregorian calendar. Date variables associated with this calendar have architectural limits. These limits are:
All valid input dates must be after 00:00:00 15 October 1582.
