Retrieve a Transient Data Record

Note: When you retrieve a record from an intrapartition transient data destination, the retrieved record disappears from that queue.

1. To retrieve a transient data record, complete the following fields:

   FUNC=GET
   DESTID= transient data destination
   

   You are advised to enter the DESTID= field before entering the FUNC= field when you begin working with a particular destination. If only the DESTID= is entered, the properties of the transient data queue are shown for your verification. This can, for example, help you avoid entering a FUNC=GET for an extrapartition destination that is now open for output.

2. Press Enter. The record you are retrieving opens on the FILE screen. The following information also displays:
   • The MESSAGE= field shows the message TD RECORD OBTAINED.
   • The SIZE= field gives the length of the data.
