6.4. Acquire Object Module Entry Point
Information (ACQ_OM_EP_INFO)
Acquiring Program File Information
The ACQ_OM_EP_INFO function returns information from the object module entry point
table in a program file. (A different function ACQ_REL_EP_INFO returns information
from the relocatable entry point table.)
This function returns the following information about each object-module entry point it
selects:
• Entry point name (Although object-module entry point names can be any length, this
function returns only the first 32 characters.)
• Length of full entry point name
• Sequence number of object-module absolute element containing the entry point
• Index of the entry point in the object-module absolute element that contains it
• Indication of whether or not the entry point has been prepped
• Date and time the entry point was created
• The entry point type (common-block, code, constant, data, or fixed-gate)
• Standard calling sequence conformance of the entry point (none, loose, or strict)
• Text type of the entry point (ASCII or Kanji)
• Name and version of the object-module absolute element containing the entry point
(optional)
This function can select object module entry points based on any combination of the
following attributes:
• Entry point name
• Name of element containing the entry point
• Version of element containing the entry point
• Entry point type
• Standard calling sequence conformance of the entry point
• Text-type of the entry point
• Date and time the entry point was created
Each attribute for which the calling program supplies a value further restricts the set of
entry points that this function selects. The calling program may supply values for as few
or as many of these attributes as it requires. If the calling program supplies no values for
any attributes, all object-module entry points in the program file are selected.
