AM3270 Management Programming Manual

SECTION 5
COMMON DEFINITIONS
The management interfaces to the AM3270 subsystem use definitions
from four sources: SPI standard definitions, EMS standard
definitions, data-communications standard definitions, and AM3270
subsystem-specific definitions. Many of the definitions are used
in multiple commands, responses, event messages, or error lists.
This section contains general information that applies to all
uses of the common definitions in the interfaces to the AM3270
subsystem. Information about a definition that is specific to
a particular command, response, event message, or error list is
given in the description for that item.
All definitions in this section are represented in DDL.
Structures, both fixed and extensible, are defined by using DDL
DEF statements. For a quick explanation of DDL as it applies
to SPI, refer to the appendix "Overview of DDL for SPI" in the
Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Programming Manual .
SPI STANDARD DEFINITIONS
Definitions whose names begin with ZSPI- are Subsystem
Programmatic Interface (SPI) standard definitions. These defini-
tions are available to all subsystems that support SPI
procedures.
Table 5-1 lists only those SPI standard definitions that are
used in the management-programming interfaces to the AM3270
subsystem. It does not list SPI error numbers or definitions
used only in error lists associated with those error numbers.
For a description of all SPI standard definitions, refer to the
Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Programming Manual .
