Tokens
Token Types
A token type is the combination of a token data type and token length. The token types
used by the DSM/TC subsystem are represented by names having the form:
subsys
is a 4-character abbreviation for a subsystem. For NonStop Kernel subsystems,
the first character is always Z.
name
identifies a token type.
Predefined Value Names
There are predefined names for the values of some tokens. Predefined value names
are represented by names having the form:
subsys
is a 4-character abbreviation for a subsystem. For NonStop Kernel subsystems,
the first character is always Z.
name
identifies the predefined value name.
For a description of the miscellaneous predefined value names for the fields that can
assume predefined values, see Section 4, Common Definitions
