Extract Field Data

To extract the data for a specific field:

• Specify TSSHEAD of TCPLV5L1.
• Specify a TSSCLASS name of FLDXTR.
• Specify the segment name in TSSPPGM.
• Specify the field name in the TSSRNAME field.
• The TSSLRTN field should be set to a value of at least the length of the FDT field to be extracted.

CA Top Secret returns a word containing the length of the field followed by the field data in the TSSRTN field. Data extracted with FLDXTR is taken from the ACEE at the time it was initialized. If FLDUPD has taken place after initialization, FLDXTR will not reflect these changes.
