As some parts of LANSA use SQL CLI, and there can only be one connection to the IBM i database at a time, LANSA provides a mechanism to obtain its connection handle.
This is by calling the program named DCXP8210 with these parameters:
Description | Type | Length | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
Action | *CHAR | 3 | Use value 'GET' |
Handle | *INT | 4 | If handle is returned as hex '00000000' then LANSA doesn't currently have a connection. |
