DDL Compiler Commands
The DEFLIST description appears in either of the following formats:
level-number field-name (offset:length) [min:max]
level-number field-name (offset:length)
depending on whether a minimum and maximum (or total) number of occurrences
have been defined.
The variables in these formats represent the following values:
Variable
level-number
field-name
offset
length
min
max
For users of SPI, DEFLIST can help you understand ZSPI-DDL-PARM-ERR.Z-
OFFSET, the definition that provides the byte offset within a structure that is in
error. DEFLIST shows where the error is.
