AM3270 Management Programming Manual

COMMANDS AND RESPONSES

INFO Command

The INFO command causes the AM3270 subsystem to return the values

of the configurable attributes of the specified objects. These

values are returned in the ZAM3-MAP-INFO-LINE and ZAM3-MAP-INFO-

SU extensible structured tokens.

When your management application issues the INFO command for a

line, the subsystem checks for the optional subordinate-modifier

token. If the value of the modifier is ZCOM-VAL-SUB-ONLY, only

information about subdevices attached to the line is returned.

If the value of the modifier is ZCOM-VAL-SUB-ALL, the subsystem

returns information about the line and the attached subdevices.

If the value is ZCOM-VAL-SUB-NONE or the subordinate modifier

is not present, the subsystem returns information about the line

only.

When your management application issues the INFO command for

a subdevice, the subsystem returns information only for the

specified subdevice. Although the SU object has no subordinates,

your management application can specify the subordinate modifier

with the value ZCOM-VAL-SUB-NONE. This value causes the subsys-

tem to return information only for the specified subdevice.

However, if your management application specifies the value ZCOM-

VAL-SUB-ONLY or ZCOM-VAL-SUB-ALL, the AM3270 subsystem returns an

error.

If your management application issues the INFO command without

specifying an object, the subsystem returns an error.

The current summary state of the objects has no effect on

the information returned by this command. For summary state

information, see the "STATUS Command" in this section.
