AM3270 Management Programming Manual

ELEMENTS OF SPI MESSAGES FOR THE SUBSYSTEMS
Event Numbers
Event Numbers
Event numbers identify event messages issued by the AM3270
subsystem and most event numbers correspond to the numbers that
identify console messages which are described in the manual
Operator Messages: Console Format . Each event message that can
be reported by the AM3270 subsystem has a different event number
assigned to it. The AM3270 event numbers and their associated
event messages are described in Section 7, "Event Management."
An event number is part of the header of an event message.
The header token named ZEMS-TKN-EVENTNUMBER contains the event
number. The value of the event number is subsystem-specific and
also has a symbolic name. Because event numbers represent unique
events for a particular subsystem, you must know both the event
number and the three-character abbreviation of the subsystem that
created the event. The symbolic name of event numbers are of
the form Z subsys -EVT- event , where subsys is a three-character
abbreviation for the subsystem and event identifies the event.
The AM3270 subsystem is represented by the abbreviation AM3.
Subjects of Event Messages
The subject of an event message is always preceded by the ZEMS-
TKN-SUBJECT-MARK token and is made up of two parts: the logical
device name and the logical device number of the subsystem
process reporting the event. The logical device name is a
32-byte file name in the internal format, which includes the name
of the system node. The ZEMS-TKN-LDEVNAME token contains the
logical device name. The logical device number is an unsigned
integer and is contained by the ZEMS-TKN-LDEV token.
The application obtains the subject of an event message by
passing the ZEMS-TKN-SUBJECT token to the EMSGET procedure.
Refer to the Event Management Service (EMS) Manual for details on
obtaining subjects of event messages.
