DSNM Commands
•
State modifier—restricts the scope of the command to a subset of the specified 
objects on the basis of their states.  The state modifier values are:
See “DSNM Object States” on page 2-6 for the DSNM definitions for UP, DOWN, 
and PENDING states. The state modifiers are not used with the INFO and 
STATISTICS commands. 
•
Response modifier—controls the response information from an INQUIRE or 
STATUS command. The response modifier values are:
DOWN Applies the command to only the objects that are DOWN.
NOT-UP Applies the command to the objects that are DOWN or PENDING.
NOT-
DOWN
Applies the command to the objects that are UP or PENDING.
UP Applies the command to only the objects that are UP.
BRIEF Returns one line of status information for each 
object, including the object’s DSNM state (see 
“DSNM Object States” on page 2-6).  Also returns 
the object’s subsystem state, if it provides additional 
information.  This is the default value.
DETAIL Returns one line of status information for each 
object, followed by available detailed status 
information.
SUMMARY Returns a one-line display showing the total number 
of objects that are UP, PENDING, DOWN, 
UNDEFINED, and IN ERROR. 
SUMMARY-BYOBJECT Returns one line of status information followed by a 
summary status line for each subordinate object type. 
Each summary status line includes the total number 
of objects that are UP, PENDING, DOWN, 
UNDEFINED, and IN ERROR.
SUMMARY-BYTYPE Returns one line for each object type showing the 
total number of objects that are UP, PENDING, 
DOWN, UNDEFINED, and IN ERROR. The value 
of the 
hierarchy-modifier determines whether 
the totals include the specified objects, subordinate 
objects, or both.
