Type 2 Response

If the results are from a Type 2 command issued to the Type 2 API, the following actions occur:

  1. Generates a set of prefix.n variables, one per line, as in the case above. The XML keyword has the same function as described above.
  2. Creates a REXX stem variable for each column within each row.

    The stem construct gets more complex because each column must be uniquely identified. The XML keyword has no effect on the creation of this set. The structured nature of the XML construct of Type 2 responses allows reference to an entire line through a single REXX variable, or every column within each line can be individually referenced.

  3. The VERBOSE(YES) option can be specified if tokenization by individual words is necessary. An example of this is shown later in example 4 in this appendix.
