Named values
Named values identify specific values or sets of values that can be assigned to
parameters or parameter fields.
Status codes, error codes, and error subcodes that the APS and FTM procedures
return are defined in ZAPSDDL and ZFTMDDL. Appendix B, NonStop FTAM Initiator
Error Messages describes these items. The constants assigned to the diagnostics that
can be returned by a remote responder or a local initiator are described in Appendix C,
ISO FTAM Diagnostic Messages and Appendix D, NonStop FTAM Initiator Diagnostic
Messages.
Locating DDL Definitions
In the subsections on ZAPS and ZFTM parameter structures, the descriptions of DDL
data structures are listed alphabetically by DDL identifier. Most DDL data structures
contain data fields, and descriptions of these fields appear after the definition box;
explanations of the named value constants are embedded in the pertinent field
descriptions and appear in ascending numerical order. Named values are also
summarized in a subsection at the end of the appendix.
The identifiers of DDL data structures and named values are multiword mnemonics in
which words or abbreviations are separated by hyphens. The identifiers of structures
and values begin with either ZAPS- or ZFTM-, followed by an abbreviation indicating
the type of constant it is:
•
DDL-, for data structure
•
VAL-, for named value
•
DIAG-, for diagnostic message
•
ERR-, for FTAM initiator or OSI error code or subcode
The remaining parts of the identifier describe what the data structure contains or what
the value semantically represents.
Data structure field identifiers are generally single-word mnemonics, although field
identifiers occasionally consist of two hyphenated words.
The subsections on parameter structures follow a dictionary format, with subheadings
on the even pages showing the first data structure described on the page, and
subheadings on the odd pages showing the last data structure described on the page.
Note. The error and diagnostic message identifiers (ERR- and DIAG-) are described in
Appendix B, NonStop FTAM Initiator Error Messages
, and Appendix D, NonStop FTAM Initiator
Diagnostic Messages.
