COMMON DEFINITIONS

Private Token and Field Types

The EXPAND subsystem does not define any token or field types.

Predefined Token and Field Values

The EXPAND subsystem defines the following token and field values

for use in more than one command, event message, or error list.

ZEXP-VAL-ASCII represents the ASCII character set. It can occur

as a value of the field ZCHARSET of the extensible structured

tokens ZEXP-MAP-ALTER-LINE, ZEXP-MAP-INFO-LINE-HDLC, and ZEXP-

MAP-INFO-LINE-CSM. For more information, see the ALTER LINE and

INFO LINE commands in Section 7, "Commands and Responses."

ZEXP-VAL-BUFLEN is the recommended buffer size in bytes for

command messages sent to the EXPAND subsystem and for responses

in which each reply message contains a single response record,

with the exception of the PROBE command and the INFO command with

ZEXP-TKN-INFO-NCP-OPT specified.

ZEXP-VAL-EBCDIC represents the EBCDIC character set. It can

occur as a value of the field ZCHARSET of the extensible

structured tokens ZEXP-MAP-ALTER-LINE, ZEXP-MAP-INFO-LINE-HDLC,

and ZEXP-MAP-INFO-LINE-CSM. For more information, see the ALTER

LINE and INFO LINE commands in Section 7.

ZEXP-VAL-MAX-NUM-OF-PATHS is the maximum number of paths (63)

connecting any one system to its neighboring systems in an EXPAND

network.

ZEXP-VAL-MAX-SYS-NUMBER is the maximum allowable system number

(255) in an EXPAND network.

ZEXP-VAL-MAX-SYSTEMS is the maximum number of systems (255) in an

EXPAND network.

ZEXP-VAL-MAXBUFLEN is the maximum buffer size in bytes for

command messages sent to the EXPAND subsystem. This is the

recommended buffer size for responses in which each reply message

contains multiple response records, and also for the PROBE

command and for the INFO command with ZEXP-TKN-INFO-NCP-OPT

specified.

ZEXP-VAL-MIN-SYS-NUMBER is the minimum allowable system number

(0) in an EXPAND network.

ZEXP-VAL-RS232 represents the RS-232 hardware interface. It

can occur as a value of the field ZINTERF of the extensible

6-10
