AM3270 Management Programming Manual

SECTION 6
COMMANDS AND RESPONSES
This section describes each of the commands and responses in the
programmatic command interface to the AM3270 subsystem. Each
description includes the syntax, object types, command tokens,
response tokens, operational notes, and error handling associated
with the commands.
In this section, command numbers, object types, tokens, and token
values are represented in DDL. 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
The commands available in the programmatic interface allow an
application to do the following:
• Change the attributes of AM3270 objects
• Start and stop the operation of AM3270 objects
• Add a subdevice to or remove a subdevice from the AM3270
subsystem
• Obtain attribute values
• Obtain statistical and status information
• Obtain information about the object names known to the AM3270
subsystem
• Trace the activity of an AM3270 line
• Change the system resources used by an AM3270 process or line
