COMMANDS AND RESPONSES
INFO PROCESS Command
ZCONN-PATH is the path number of the path through which the
called system and the selected system are currently connected
or are connecting, depending on the value of ZCONN-STATE.
A value of 0 means that there is no path between the two
systems.
ZCONN-STATE is the connection state of the path identified in
ZCONN-PATH. This field can have the following values:
ZEXP-VAL-PATH-CONNECTED The path is in the connected
state.
ZEXP-VAL-PATH-CONNECTING The path is in the connecting
state.
ZEXP-VAL-PATH-DISCONNECTED The path is in the disconnected
state.
ZSYS-DIST-ENT (system distance entry) is a structure that
contains information about the distance from the called system
to the selected system over a particular path. This structure
is repeated 40 times. ZSYS-DIST-ENT consists of the following
fields:
ZPATH-NUM is the number identifying a particular path
between the called system and the selected system. Path
numbering starts with 1.
ZHOP-COUNT is the number of node-to-node paths traveled to
reach the selected system over this path.
ZTRAVEL-TIME is the time factor for this path, as deter-
mined by the formula in the
EXPAND Reference Manual
.
Smaller numbers represent faster lines.
ZEXP-MAP-INFO-NCP-PATHMAP is an extensible structured token that
contains path map information about the paths to the called
system. It has the token number ZEXP-TNM-INFO-NCP-PATHMAP and
the DDL definition ZEXP-DDL-INFO-NCP-PATHMAP. This token is
present if and only if ZEXP-TKN-INFO-NCP-OPT was present in the
command (regardless of its value).
ZEXP-MAP-INFO-NCP-PATHMAP contains the following fields:
ZCALLED-SYS is the system number of the called system.
ZNUM-OF-PATH is the number of communication paths radiating
from the called system.
