calltables.i

The calltables.i include file located in the src/adm2/ directory contains the definition of four temp-tables that provide call parameters to the setupTTFrom functions. The following list, presented in order of efficiency, shows how tables provide call parameters to the setupTTFrom functions:

Parameters stored by parameter position where the value is in the native data type.
Parameters stored by parameter position where the value is stored in a character field.
Parameters stored by parameter name where the value is stored in the native data type.
Parameters stored by parameter name where the value is stored in a character field.

When storing parameters by position, the parameters are added to the temp-table in the order in which they are specified. You must specify all parameters. This form of the temp-table requires that the Parameter Holder temp-table structure be built using setupTTFromTable.

When storing parameters by name, the parameter name specified must match the name of the parameter as it is retrieved from a GET-SIGNATURE call on the internal entry being invoked. This temp-table format requires that the Parameter Holder temp-table structure be built using setupTTFromSig.

This include file takes the following optional parameters:

PARAM-TABLE-TYPE

Indicates the type of table to be used. Defaults to 1.

PARAM-TABLE-NAME

A name to apply to the temp-table. Defaults to ttCallParam.

For more information about temp-table types, see the "Temp-table types" section.
