DDL Definitions for DSNM Character String 
Components
Subsystems and object types in DSNM commands, responses, and configuration are 
represented by character strings. In TAL, the representation of a character-string type 
item has the following form: 
LITERAL zdsn^max^item = length-of-item-in-bytes;
STRUCT zdsn^ddl^item^def; 
 BEGIN
 STRING z^c[0:zdsn^max^item-1];
 INT z^i = z^c;
 END;
All character-string type items are defined this way: a constant (with the item's length in 
bytes) and a uniform structure that allows it to be referred to as a structure, a string, or 
an INT. 
The major character-string items of interest are described by the following DDL items: 
DSNM Configuration Items 
Note. If one of these items is embedded in another structure, care must be taken to ensure 
that the structure begins on a word boundary.
