Common-Standard Tokens That EMS Provides
“C” means the token is a conditional token and must be provided if the specified
condition applies; if the token is not provided, the default meaning specified is to be
associated with the absence of the token. Some tokens, for example ZEMS-TKN-
EMPHASIS and ZEMS-TKN-SUPPRESS-DISPLAY, are always in an event, even if
you did not add or generate them. If you do not add or generate them, these
tokens receive default values. However, the ZEMS-TKN-BATCHJOB-ID token
exists only if the object of the event is a batch job. The ZEMS-TKN-BATCHJOB-ID
token is not automatically generated if the object of the event is not a batch job.

A complete description of the meanings and rules regarding the token:

If the token is a structure, the DDL names of the fields is provided

If the token is an enumerated type, the DDL names for all the enumerated
values are defined

If the token is a conditional token, its default meaning is defined in case the
token is not specified
Common-Standard Tokens That EMS Provides
These tokens are provided by EMS automatically when the subsystem or application
uses the EMS procedures (EMSINIT, EMS_???_EVT_BLD_ and so on) to format the
event message and uses the EMS collector to log the message.
These tokens are listed here for completeness. Unconditional token types are identified
with a “U.”
Generation
Timestamp
ZEMS-TKN-GENTIME (ZSPI-TYP-TIMESTAMP,U)
The Greenwich mean time used by the reporting subsystem when it created
the event message. In most cases, it is close to the time the event occurred.
Log
Timestamp
ZEMS-TKN-LOGTIME (ZSPI-TYP-TIMESTAMP,U)
The Greenwich mean time the collector used when it wrote the event
message to its log file. Event messages are ordered in the log files by log
time, not generation time.
