HPMERGESTAT

Syntax

               I32     I32A
  HPMERGESTAT (status, statistics);

Parameters

status

32-bit signed integer by reference (optional)

Returns the status of the HPMERGESTAT call. If no errors or warnings are encountered, status returns 32 bits of zero. If errors or warnings are encountered, status is interpreted as two 16-bit fields.

Bits (0:16) comprise status.info. A negative value indicates an error condition, and a positive value indicates a warning condition. Refer to the MPE/iX Error Message Manual Volumes 1, 2 and 3 for a description of its value.

Bits (16:16) comprise status.subsys. The value represented by these bits defines the subsystem that set the status information. The subsystem identifier for HPMERGESTAT is 196.

statistics

32-bit signed integer array (optional)

Contains the following statistical information about the MERGE/XL operation:

• Number of input files

• Number of merged records

• Number of bytes used for the MERGE/XL work area

• CPU time in milliseconds

• Elapsed time in milliseconds

This parameter is returned from the HPMERGEEND intrinsic.

NOTE: The statistics array is the same array that was passed to the HPMERGEINIT and HPMERGEEND intrinsics. It must be referenced by the same name.
