Operational Notes
If ZDNS-MAP-INFO-DNSTYPE-PF1 or ZDNS-MAP-INFO-DNSTYPE-PF2 is
supplied, responses of format ZDNS-DDL-INFO-DNSTYPE-BR are returned.
If ZDETAIL is supplied with a value of TRUE, one ZDNS-MAP-INFO-SSTYPE-BR
for each component of the composite type is also returned.
If the ZSS field of ZDNS-MAP-INFO-SSTYPE-BR = “*”, an instance of an object
with type ZDNS-MAP-INFO-SSTYPE-BR.ZSSTYPE defined by any subsystem
may be used for the component.
When information about composite types is returned in a single response buffer,
each ZDNS-MAP-INFO-DNSTYPE-BR token (and corresponding ZDNS-MAP-
INFO-SSTYPE-BR token, if requested) are enclosed in a standard SPI data list:
[ZSPI-TKN-DATALIST]
[ZDNS-MAP-INFO-DNSTYPE-BR] (first composite type)
[ZDNS-MAP-INFO-SSTYPE-BR] (first composite type, first
component)
[ZDNS-MAP-INFO-SSTYPE-BR] (first composite type, second
component)
[ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE] = 0
[ZSPI-TKN-DATALIST]
[ZDNS-MAP-INFO-DNSTYPE-BR] (second composite type)
[ZDNS-MAP-INFO-SSTYPE-BR] (second composite type, first
component)
[ZDNS-MAP-INFO-SSTYPE-BR] (second composite type, second
component)
[ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE] = 0
[ZSPI-TKN-CONTEXT] (if more responses are available)
ZDNS-MAP-INFO-DNSTYPE-PF2 is supplied for the convenience of third-party
subsystem suppliers. It allows each installation to assign their own names to
composite types defined by the third party while permitting management
applications supplied by third parties to determine those installation-assigned
names.
