Explanation

The three essential fields for a DL/I call are: Function Code (what operation - GU, GN, ISRT, etc.), PCB Mask (which database/PCB to use), and I/O Area (where segment data is placed). SSA (Segment Search Argument) is NOT essential - it's only required when you need to navigate to specific segments. Many calls can work without SSA.
