Issue/Introduction

Documentation says that a backed out element is flagged in MCF.  What is the name of this field in the API. Is there a field? 

I could not find it in the COBOL Structure ECHALELM.

 

Resolution

The information about element back-out flag is actually reported indirectly in the API output.

1. CSV output is constructed based on API fields as follows;

The element backout flag in CSV output is set to " " (blank) if: 
ALELM_RS_SPKG_ID = ALELM_RS_OPKG_ID 
and 
ALELM_RS_SPKG_DATE = ALELM_RS_OPKG_DATE 
and 
ALELM_RS_SPKG_TIME = ALELM_RS_OPKG_TIME 
Otherwise, it will be set to "Y". 

2. In exits, the test would be: 

ELMSPKG=ELMOPKG 
and 
ELMSPKGT=ELMOPKGT
