Constructs Involving Multiple Tokens
Field Types
All the field types used by the Safeguard subsystem are SPI standard field types,
represented by symbolic names in the form ZSPI-DDL-name, where name identifies
the field type. For example, the field type ZSPI-DDL-BOOLEAN represents the
Boolean data type. Throughout this manual, when a field is described, its field type is
given.
Constructs Involving Multiple Tokens
The Safeguard subsystem supports data lists and error lists as described in the SPI
Programming Manual.
Components of a Command
For each Safeguard command and the tokens it contains, see Section 7, Commands.
For considerations about Safeguard command buffers, see Section 5, SPI
Programming Considerations, and the SPI Common Extensions Manual.
Components of a Response
For each Safeguard response and the tokens it contains, see Section 7, Commands.
For considerations about retrieving and decoding Safeguard response buffers, see
Section 5, SPI Programming Considerations. In responses to Safeguard commands
that operate on objects, a response record always contains response information for
the operation of the command on a single object.
This topic is also discussed in the SPI Common Extensions Manual.
Components of an Event Message
For Safeguard event messages, the tokens each contains, and considerations for
retrieving and decoding event messages, see Section 8, Event Management
.
This topic is also discussed in the EMS Manual.
