ZSPIDEF.ZsubsysTACL
ZSPIDEF.ZsubsysTAL
subsys is a three-character code identifying the subsystem or other software component to
which these definitions belong. The code for the Pathway subsystem is PWY.
The last characters of each file name denote the language in which the definitions in this file are
coded.
Contents
The Pathway definition files contain:
• Object names for use in error tokens and object-selector tokens
• Error tokens
• Attribute (DEF-) tokens
• Command-modifier (PAR-) tokens
• Object-selector (SEL-) tokens
• Qualifier (QUAL-) tokens
• Commands
• Object types
• Token types, used in defining simple tokens
• Token numbers, which uniquely identify each token
• Token codes, used in defining simple tokens
• Predefined values
• Token maps, used to reference extensible structured tokens
• Error numbers
• Subsystem ID definition
• Message buffer declaration
• Event tokens
• Building blocks, which are definitions that appear at the beginning of a definition file are
referenced by TYPE clauses that appear later in the file. Building blocks are present in
ZPWYDDL, but are not generated for ZPWYC, ZPWYTAL, ZPWYCOB, or ZPWYTACL.
Location
The files are located on the disk volume chosen by your site. The default disk volume used by the
Install program or the Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager
(DSM/SCM) utility is $SYSTEM.
Which Files Do You Need?
An application that sends DSM commands to and receives responses from the Pathway subsystem
needs these definition files in the appropriate programming language:
SPI (ZSPI) definition file
PWY (ZPWY) definition file
An application that retrieves event messages issued by the Pathway subsystem needs the definition
files:
SPI (ZSPI) definition file
