DBINFO(base,qualifier,mode,status,buffer)

base

is the name of an array used as the base parameter when opening the database. The first element of the array must contain the base ID returned by DBOPEN. (Refer to DBOPEN for more information about the base ID.)

qualifier

is the name of an array containing a data set/data item name or an integer referencing a data item/data set, depending on the value of the mode parameter. This parameter form is identical to the dset and item parameters for DBFIND, and the dset and list parameters for DBPUT.

mode

is an integer indicating the type of information desired.
Please refer to the document on DBINFO modes for detailed information on valid DBINFO modes, qualifiers and buffer.

status

is the name of an array of 10 halfwords in which the database returns status information about the procedure. If the procedure executes successfully, the status array contents are:

Element	Contents
1	If the procedure succeeds, the return status is 0. Otherwise it provides a status code to describe the failure.
2	Length of information in buffer array (in halfwords).
3-4	Unchanged from previous procedure call using this array.
5-10	Information about the current procedure call and its results.

buffer

is the name of an array in which the requested information is returned. The contents of the buffer array vary according to the mode parameter used.

Please refer to the document on DBINFO modes for detailed information on valid DBINFO modes, qualifiers and buffer.
