SELECT request

The SELECT request retrieves a record and makes it available to your program. You can:

• Retrieve a record directly from HCL Workload Automation for Z by specifying field names and values in arguments, which identify the record you want to retrieve. When you retrieve a record directly from HCL Workload Automation for Z, you can get the complete record rather than just the common segment that is available from a list.
• Retrieve one of the records from a list built by a previous LIST or SELECT request by providing the resource code (common segment name), and the pointer to the offset of the common segment data area that contains the common segment of the record. This pointer is in the header record of the common segment.
