Coding a UDS for an ESSUDS call

GDDM V3R2 System Customization and Administration
SC33-0871-02



The ESSUDS call passes to GDDM a single UDS in the same format as the assembler source for an external defaults module. See "Coding UDSs for an external defaults module" in topic 3.8.2 for a description of this format. To supply multiple UDSs using the ESSUDS call, code one call for each UDS. The ESSUDS call is recommended rather than ESEUDS or SPINIT as it is easier to code. However, there are times when the SPINIT call must be used rather than ESSUDS. Appendix A, "External defaults" in topic A.0 identifies whether ESSUDS can be used for particular UDSs.

Here is an example that shows how to code ESSUDS to set the default national language to French:


      ESSUDS (17,'ADMMDFT NATLANG=F')

where 'ADMMDFT NATLANG=F' is the required UDS, and 17 is its length in bytes. For more information about the format of the ESSUDS call, see the GDDM Base Application Programming Reference book.
