Standard SPI Token Types
Token Maps and Structured Tokens
A token map is a variable-length integer array that contains decoding information and a
reference name for an extensible structured token. A token map contains a token code
and a description of the token value—including the token fields, the null values for the
fields, and the version number for the fields. An application uses a token map to pass
information in an extensible structured token to ORSERV.
Field Types
ORSERV uses standard SPI field types that are represented using the form
ZSPI-DDL-name (name specifies the field type). An example of this is the message
buffer ZORS-DDL-MSG-BUFFER.
Event Messages
Although ORSERV does not report event messages to the Event Management Service
(EMS), event messages might be generated by the NonStop Kernel or the disk
process when you use the programmatic interface to ORSERV.

ORSERV Commands and Responses.
