types (PLONG) - input

      Data type codes of structure components.

      Valid data types are the system-defined data types and their pointer equivalents, application-defined data types and their pointer equivalents, and control data types. Note that not all of the data types that occur in the CPI can be specified on this function.

      A control data type is followed by one or more entries in the types array that are interpreted in a special way. Control data types allow arrays, offsets, and lengths to be defined.

      Pointer Data Type:

      DTYP_P*

        Pointer to an item of data type DTYP_*, where DTYP_* is one of the data types in the preceding lists. The value of a pointer data type is the value of the corresponding non-pointer data type prefixed with a minus to make it negative.
      Minimum Application Data Type:

      DTYP_USER

        Minimum value for application-defined non-pointer data types.
      Control Data Type:

      DTYP_CTL_ARRAY

        This starts a sequence of three array elements that define an array; the array resides in the structure being defined, and may have a fixed number of elements or a variable number of elements.

        The following describes the possible elements: n

          DTYP_CTL_ARRAY
        n+1
          data type of array data.
        n+2
          minus the number of elements in the array (for an array of fixed size), or the index of the element in types corresponding to the structure component which contains the number of elements in the array being defined. This component must have a suitable numeric data type. The array-size element must recede element "n" in types. The index is zero-based.
        DTYP_CTL_LENGTH
          This starts a sequence of four array elements that define a structure component containing the length of part or all of the structure. The length component resides at this point in the structure.

          The following describes the possible elements: n

            DYP_CTL_LENGTH
          n+1
            data type of structure component that contains the length (must be a suitable numeric data type).
          n+2
            the index of the element in types corresponding to the first structure component that is included in the length; a value of -1 denotes the start of the structure. This index is zero-based.

            The element specified must not be one that is the second or subsequent element in a DTYP_CTL_* sequence of elements.

          N+3
            the index of the element in types corresponding to the last structure component that is included in the length; it must not be less than the value contained in element n+2. A value of -1 denotes the end of the structure. The index is zero-based.

            The element specified must not be one that is the second or subsequent element in a DTYP_CTL_* sequence of elements.

            If the value is -1, the length includes all offset data residing at the end of the structure.

          DTYP_CTL_OFFSET
            This starts a sequence of four array elements that define data addressed by an offset. The offset resides at this point in the structure, and contains the offset in bytes of the data from the start of the outermost structure in which this component resides. The data addressed by the offset must occupy storage following the fixed part of the structure. The data may be scalar data or array data.

            The following describes the possible elements: n

              DTYP_CTL_OFFSET
            n+1
              data type of the structure component that contains the offset (must be a suitable unsigned numeric data type).
            n+2
              data type of offset data.
            n+3
              minus the number of elements in the array (for an array of fixed size), or the index of the element in types corresponding to the structure component that contains the number of elements in the array being defined; this component must have a suitable numeric data type; the array-size element may occur earlier or later in the structure. This index is zero-based.

              A value of -1 indicates that the data is not an array.

            DTYP_CTL_PARRAY
              This starts a sequence of three array elements that define a pointer to an array. The pointer resides at this point in the structure, and the array resides elsewhere. The array can have a fixed or variable number of elements.

              The following describes the possible elements: n

                DTYP_CTL_PARRAY
              n+1
                data type of array data.
              n+2
                minus the number of elements in the array (for an array of fixed size) or the index of the element in types corresponding to the structure component that contains the number of elements in the array being defined. This component must have a suitable numeric data type. The array-size element may occur earlier or later in the structure. The index is zero-based.
