ZDNS-DDL-SSTYPENAME
is used to specify subsystem-object type names. It has the following structure:
def ZDNS-DDL-SSTYPENAME type ZSPI-DDL-CHAR8.
Allowed Values (Parameter and Response):
In cases where the input field is optional, it may be left null (blank-filled).
When not null, fields of this type must contain a valid subsystem-object-type name,
and must be left-justified and blank-filled. The name manager upshifts the contents of
the field using SHIFTSTRING.
ZDNS-DDL-STATE
appears only in name manager responses and gives the current state of DNS. It
has the following structure:
def ZDNS-DDL-STATE type ZSPI-DDL-UINT spi- null 0.
Response Values:
ZDNS-VAL-STATE-RUNNING = 1
ZDNS-VAL-STATE-STOPPING = 2
Note If the DNS state is STOPPED, the name manager process does not exist. If the DNS state is STARTING,
the name manager responds to FILE_OPEN_ requests with FENOTREADY (100).
