Other Tokens
Simple Tokens
Simple tokens—tokens whose values are single fields or fixed structures—are identified
by token codes. The token codes for the simple tokens used by the PAM subsystem are
represented by symbolic names of the form subsys-TKN-name, where subsys is a the
four-character subsystem abbreviation and name identifies the token code.
Table B-1
on page B-1 lists all the token codes defined by the PAM subsystem (token
codes with names of the form ZPAM-TKN-name).
Token Types
The token types used by the PAM subsystem are represented by symbolic names of the
form subsys-TYP-name, where subsys is a four-character subsystem abbreviation and
name identifies the token type. For example, the token type ZSPI-TYP-CHAR8
represents a string of eight ASCII characters. The PAM subsystem does not define any
private token types; that is, no token types have names of the form ZPAM-TYP-name.
Throughout this manual, when a simple token is described, its token type is given.
Predefined Value Names
The predefined values used by the PAM subsystem are represented by symbolic names
of the form ZPAM-VAL-name, where name identifies the predefined value. For
example, the predefined value ZPAM-VAL-BUFLEN represents the recommended
buffer length.
Extensible Structured Tokens
Extensible structured tokens—tokens whose values are extensible structures—are
identified by token maps. The token maps for the extensible structured tokens used by
the PAM subsystem are represented by symbolic names of the form subsys-MAP-name,
where subsys is a four-character subsystem abbreviation and name identifies the token
map. For example, the token map ZPAM-MAP-STATS-LINE identifies an extensible
structured token that contains statistical information for the LINE object.
The ADD and ALTER commands contain extensible structured tokens. The responses to
the following PAM commands can also contain extensible structured tokens:
•
INFO
•
RESETSTATS
•
STATISTICS
•
STATUS
Extensible structured tokens do not appear in any event message or error list issued by
the PAM subsystem.
Throughout this manual, when an extensible structured token is described, its Data
Definition Language (DDL) definition, including the definitions and types of all fields,
is also given.
Table B-2
on page B-3A lists all the token maps defined by the PAM subsystem (token
maps with names of the form ZPAM-MAP-name).
