SPI to MDO Conversion Rule 2c. NonStop NET/MASTER MS converts all subordinate

fields in a SPI token to fields that are subordinate to the SPI token name in an MDO

variable. (The SPI token name is effectively regarded as an element name.) The

following table shows how a SPI token that has subordinate fields—ZEMS-MAP-

STATUS-DIST—appears after conversion into an MDO variable in a message that is

read by the MSGREAD verb:

SPI Token Name Subordinate Field

MDO Variable Name

(&$MSG.SPI.TANDEM. begins all variable names.)

ZEMS-MAP-STATUS-DIST ZDIST-NAME ZEMS_MAP_STATUS_DIST.ZDIST_NAME

ZDIST-TYPE ZEMS_MAP_STATUS_DIST.ZDIST_TYPE

ZDIST-PRIMARY-CPU ZEMS_MAP_STATUS_DIST.ZDIST_PRIMARY_CPU

ZDIST-BACKUP-CPU ZEMS_MAP_STATUS_DIST.ZDIST_BACKUP_CPU

SPI to MDO Conversion Rule 2d. NonStop NET/MASTER MS converts all subordinate

tokens in a SPI token list to elements that are subordinate to the SPI token name in an

MDO variable. (The SPI token name is effectively regarded as an element name.) The

following table shows how a SPI token that has subordinate tokens in a list—ZSPI-

TKN-ERRLIST—appears after conversion into an MDO variable in a message that is

read by the MSGREAD verb:

SPI Token Name Token in List

MDO Variable Name

(&$MSG.SPI.TANDEM. begins all variable names.)

ZSPI-TKN-ERRLIST ZSPI-TKN-ERROR ZSPI_TKN_ERRLIST.ZSPI_TKN_ERROR

ZSPI-TKN-PARM-ERR ZSPI_TKN_ERRLIST.ZSPI_TKN_PARM_ERR

ZSPI-TKN-ERRLIST ZSPI_TKN_ERRLIST.ZSPI_TKN_ERRLIST

Note The ZSPI-TKN-ENDLIST token is filtered by NonStop NET/MASTER MS and is not present in an MDO

variable.

SPI to MDO Conversion Rule 2e. NonStop NET/MASTER MS adds a period (.) and

number sign (#) field to each token of type enumeration to get the unenumerated

value of the token. NonStop NET/MASTER MS adds a number sign field to each field

of type enumeration to get the unenumerated value of the field. The plain name of the

token or field—without the number sign—gets the enumerated value—the symbolic

name. Hyphens are converted to underscores in an enumerated value.
