Object List Modifiers
These modifiers fall into the following categories:
•
Object list modifiers, which limit or expand the scope of the original input object list
(HMOD and SMOD).
•
Response modifiers, which determine the amount and type of information returned
for each object in the output object list (RMOD and EMOD).
•
The action modifier, which indicates that statistics be reset (AMOD).
Object List Modifiers
Applying the hierarchy and state modifiers to the contents of the original input object
list returns a subset or superset of the list. The command thread must be able to resolve
the hierarchy and state command modifiers that limit or expand the scope of the input
object list.
The Hierarchy Modifier (_INPUT.MOD.Z^HMOD)
The hierarchy modifier (HMOD) controls whether the command is applied to subsystem
objects that are subordinate to the object(s) in the input object list. HMOD is valid for
all DSNM commands except AGGREGATE. Its values have the following meanings:
ZDSN^HMOD^ALL For each object on the input object list, apply the
command to the object itself and to all subsystem
objects subordinate to it. For consistency among
subsystems, this should be the default when HMOD is
omitted, unless there are overwhelming subsystem
reasons for a different default.
ZDSN^HMOD^ONLY Apply the command to each object on the input object
list, but not to subordinate objects.
ZDSN^HMOD^SUBONLY For each object on the input object list, apply the
command only to the subsystem objects that are
subordinate to it in the subsystem hierarchy (but not the
object itself).
