Usage Notes for All SYSTEM Entities
• The SYSTEM counters are modified by network line-handler processes during network operations
between systems linked by Expand line handlers. These operations include logging on to a
remote system or moving a file to a remote system. The protocol determines the Expand
line-handler process used.
• SUBSYSTEM-VERSION for ZMSSYS records is provided by Expand.
