Object States
Action Modifiers
ZDSN^AMOD^RESET in the _INPUT.MOD.Z^AMOD field indicates that statistics 
should be reset after being reported.
The Action Modifier (_INPUT.MOD.Z^AMOD)
The command thread must support the resetting of statistics as indicated by the 
following action modifier:
Object States
Subsystem objects can have a number of possible states that are significant within the 
context of the subsystem. To present uniform status displays of subsystems and their 
objects, subsystem states are classified into a small set of DSNM states. This set of 
states can be smaller than the set of subsystem states for an object. Subsystem states are 
reported as text in the DSNM command response. The command thread must be able to 
map the states of the subsystem objects to the following DSNM object states:
ZDSN^AMOD^RESET Reset subsystem statistics after reporting (valid for 
STATISTICS command only).
ZDSN^STATE^UP | 
ZDSN^STATE^GREEN
Object is in use or available for immediate use.
ZDSN^STATE^DOWN |
ZDSN^STATE^RED 
The object is unavailable or needs an operator to take 
action to make it ready.
ZDSN^STATE^PENDING | 
ZDSN^STATE^YELLOW
The object is neither UP nor DOWN, but is in some 
intermediate state (such as STARTING). Most 
subsystems have one or more states to describe an 
object that is neither ready nor totally deactivated. 
PENDING corresponds to these subsystem states; an 
object in this state may require special action to occur 
or condition to be met.
