As some parts of LANSA use SQL CLI, and there can only be one connection to the IBM i database at a time, LANSA provides a mechanism to obtain its connection handle.
This is by calling the program named DCXP8210 with these parameters:
Description
Type
Length
Usage
Action
*CHAR
3
Use value 'GET'
Handle
*INT
4
If handle is returned as hex '00000000' then LANSA doesn't currently have a connection.
