4 Common Definitions
The token-oriented programmatic interface to the GDS subsystem makes use of
definitions from four different sources: the SPI standard definitions, the EMS standard
definitions, the data communications standard definitions, and the GDS definitions. The
common definitions from these four sources that can be used in a management
application to communicate with the GDS subsystem are explained here.
This section provides general information that applies to all uses of the definitions in
the interface to the GDS subsystem. Information about a definition that is specific to a
particular command, response, event message, or error list is given in the description
of that command, response, event message, or error list.
All definitions in this section are represented in DDL. Structures are defined by using
DDL definition statements. For an explanation of DDL, refer to the SPI Programming
Manual.
SPI Standard Definitions
Symbolic names that begin with ZSPI- are SPI standard definitions.
Table 4-1 lists the SPI standard definitions that are used in the token-oriented
programmatic interface to the GDS subsystem. These definitions consist of the
following:
•
Simple tokens used in commands, responses, event messages, and error lists
•
Header tokens and other special tokens available to applications using GDSX
•
Token and field values
•
Fixed structures and token types used in other definitions
