AM3270 Management Programming Manual

COMMON DEFINITIONS
SPI Standard Definitions
ZSPI-TKN-ALLOW-TYPE within a command buffer indicates the condi-
tions under which processing of a set of objects will continue.
This token applies to commands that apply to multiple objects.
The ALLOW-TYPE token controls whether the subsystem continues to
the next object of a set when there is an error or warning during
processing of the object. It does not control the response when
the tokens within a command message are incorrect or missing.
The AM3270 subsystem provides full support for the ALLOW-TYPE
token; that is, your management application can specify any of
the following values:
ZSPI-VAL-NORM-ONLY The subsystem continues to process
the next object in the set if the
command completed successfully on
the previous object. There cannot
be an error list in the response
buffer. This is the default value.
ZSPI-VAL-WARN-AND-NORM The subsystem continues to process
the next object in the set
even though warnings occurred
during processing of the command
on the previous object. A warning
is indicated by a zero value in
the RETCODE token, but an error
list is present.
ZSPI-VAL-ERR-WARN-AND-NORM The subsystem continues to process
the next object in the set
despite errors or warnings that
have occurred during processing
of the command on the previous
object.
ZSPI-TKN-CHECKSUM provides checksum protection against accidental
corruption of the SPI buffer between calls to the SPI procedures.
The possible values are:
ZSPI-VAL-FALSE indicates that there is no checksum
protection.
ZSPI-VAL-TRUE indicates that there is checksum
protection.
ZSPI-TKN-COMMAND specifies the command number of an AM3270
command. The value of this token is always ZCOM-CMD- name ,
where name specifies the command to be performed. The commands
supported by AM3270 are described in Section 6, "Commands and
Responses."
