Common Definitions
Common definitions are definitions that are used in several (usually three or more) 
event messages for a specific subsystem or system component. Tape process event 
messages use definitions from the following sources:
Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) Standard Definitions on page 10-7
Event Management Service (EMS) Standard Definitions on page 10-8
Tape Process (ZTAP-) Definitions on page 10-9
A general description of these definitions is provided in the following paragraphs. 
Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) Standard Definitions
SPI standard definitions begin with ZSPI- and that have a specific meaning for tape 
process events are listed in Table 10-2
 on page 10-8.
SPI standard definitions are described in detail in the SPI Programming Manual.
408: ZTAP-EVT-SET-BURST-EIO A SET BURST EIO instruction was 
executed.
409: ZTAP-EVT-SET-HOLDOFF-EIO
A SET HOLDOFF EIO instruction was 
executed.
410: ZTAP-EVT-UNEXPECTED-INT
An unexpected interrupt occurred.
511: ZTAP-EVT-TAPE-STACK
Stack information has been added to 
an error event.
Note. The event-message header tokens are described in Section 2, Header and Common 
Tokens.
Note. All definitions are shown in DDL format using hyphens (-) as separators. If you are 
programming in TAL or TACL, substitute the circumflex symbol (^) for the hyphens. If you are 
programming in Pascal or C, substitute the underscore symbol (_) for the hyphens. For a quick 
explanation of DDL, see the SPI Programming Manual.
