SPI Standard Definitions
SPI Standard Definitions
Descriptions of the SPI standard definitions as they apply to all subsystems are given in
the SPI Programming Manual. All items in the definition files are given symbolic
names. Definitions whose names begin with ZSPI- are SPI standard definitions. These
definitions are available to all subsystems that support SPI procedures and can be found
in the SPI DDL file, ZSPIDEF.ZSPIDDL, and in the corresponding files for other
languages.
The SPI standard definitions used by the PAM subsystem consist of the following:
•
Simple tokens
•
Header tokens
•
Value names
•
Fixed structures and token types
This section does not list SPI error numbers or definitions used only in error lists
associated with those error numbers, nor does it list all SPI token values that can be used
in an application. For information about these definitions, refer to the SPI Programming
Manual.
Simple Tokens
The following SPI standard definitions for simple tokens are used by the PAM
subsystem:
ZSPI-TKN-ALLOW-TYPE
ZSPI-TKN-COMMENT
ZSPI-TKN-CONTEXT
ZSPI-TKN-DATALIST
ZSPI-TKN-ENDLIST
ZSPI-TKN-ERRLIST
ZSPI-TKN-ERROR
ZSPI-TKN-MANAGER
ZSPI-TKN-RESPONSE-TYPE
ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE
The following information about these definitions is specific to the PAM subsystem:
ZSPI-TKN-ERROR
is an error token, returned within an error list in a response record, that identifies an
error detected by the subsystem. Its value consists of the subsystem ID (SSID) that
detected the error followed by the error number. For descriptions of all PAM error
numbers, refer to Appendix A, Error Numbers and Error Lists.
ZSPI-TKN-MANAGER
is the process name of the PAM Manager (PAMMAN) process, $ZZPAM.
