Elements of SPI Messages for DSM/SCM

DSM/SCM Event Management Programming Manual—529844-003

2-3

Other Tokens

DSM/SCM event messages also include other tokens to provide information about the

event. This subsection briefly reviews the form these tokens can take and the elements

that make up these tokens. For more information on the construction of these tokens,

see the SPI Programming Manual.

Simple Tokens

Simple tokens are tokens whose values are single fields or fixed structures. Simple

tokens are identified by token codes. The token codes for the simple tokens used by

DSM/SCM are represented by symbolic names of the form ZPHI-TKN-name, where

name identifies the token code. For example, ZPHI-TKN-ACT-COMP-CD identifies a

simple token that specifies the completion code for an activity.

For a table of all token codes defined by DSM/SCM, see Appendix A, Token Codes.

Token Types

The token types used by DSM/SCM are represented by symbolic names of the form

ZSPI-TYP-name, where name identifies the token type. For example, the token type

ZSPI-TYP-CHAR8 represents a string of eight ASCII characters. DSM/SCM does not

define any private token types. That is, no token types have names of the form

ZPHI-TYP-name.

Throughout this manual, when a simple token is described, its token type is given.

Predefined Value Names

Many of the tokens and fields defined by DSM/SCM have predefined values. The

predefined values used by DSM/SCM are represented by symbolic names of the form

ZPHI-VAL-name, where name identifies the predefined value. For example, the

predefined value ZPHI-VAL-EVT-BUFLEN represents the recommended buffer length

for a DSM/SCM event message.

Field Types

All the field types used by DSM/SCM are SPI standard field types, so they are

represented by symbolic names of the form ZSPI-DDL-name, where name identifies

the field type. For example, the field type ZSPI-DDL-INT represents the integer data

type. Throughout this manual, when a field is described, its field type is given.

For more information on SPI tokens, their types, and their values, see the SPI

Programming Manual.
