Receiving Answer Area Information from a DELETE

When you invoke IXLLIST, list services return information related to your request in the answer area specified using the ANSLEN and ANSAREA parameters.

Under certain circumstances, answer area information is not valid. See Determining if the Answer Area is Valid for information on how to determine whether the answer area information is valid.

The following list describes the information returned when the answer area is valid. The answer area is mapped by the IXLYLAA macro, which is presented in z/OS® MVS™ Data Areas in the z/OS Internet library.
