5 SWID Formatted Output
This section explains how to request a formatted SWID output file.
Formatted Output
You can use the -FO switch to request output in a structured format, which enables
parsing of SWID output.
Sample Input
Formatted input to SWID consists of one or more fi-rec records. The DDL syntax
of the record structure ID is:
The record type is indicated by the first word of the structure. Following this word is the
actual record indicated by rectype. The possible record types are listed as level 88.
Sample Output
SWID output consists of multiple fo-rec records. The DDL source of the record
structure is:
* SWID Formatted Input Record Structure
def fi-rec.
03 rectype type binary 16.
* When the word contains Esc and ^ in two bytes.
88 WhoRU value 7006.
88 GetFpts value 0.
88 GetFpts2 value 3.
88 GetOrigFpts value 1.
88 ds value 9.
03 rec type character 1
occurs 300 times.
end
* SWID Formatted Output Record Structure
def fo-rec.
03 rectype type binary 16.
88 who-am-i value -1.
88 default value 0.
88 dv value 1.
88 ds value 9.
03 reclength type binary 16 unsigned must be 0 thru 4092.
03 rec type character 1
occurs 0 to 4092 times
depending on fo-rec.reclength.
