Note that if the empty response (ZCOM-ERR-EMPT-RSP) is returned, the value of 
this token is nonzero, although the command has been completed successfully.
If the command was not completed successfully, the value of this token indicates 
the reason the command failed. The meaning of each error number can be 
subsystem-specific and possibly command-specific. Although the TCP/IP 
subsystem does not define any subsystem-specific errors, it does return some of 
the data communications and SPI-defined errors. For descriptions of all common 
data communications errors, see the SPI Common Extensions Manual. For 
descriptions of all common SPI errors, see the SPI Programming Manual.
ZSPI-TKN-SERVER-BANNER 
contains the server-banner string for the TCP/IP subsystem. The server-banner 
string reflects the product name, product number, release date, and the date the 
TCP/IP code was compiled. This token is returned only for the GETVERSION 
command. The server banner for TCP/IP is:
TCP/IP T9551D41 - release date - compile date
ZSPI-TKN-SERVER-VERSION 
specifies the server version of the TCP/IP subsystem. This token is required in all 
the commands and responses. The SSINIT procedure initializes the command 
buffer with this token, using the value defined in the subsystem’s definition file. The 
value used for TCP/IP is ZTCI-VAL-VERSION. The subsystem provides the value 
of this token for comparison. The value provided by the subsystem must be at least 
as current as the value provided by SSINIT. If it is not as current, the subsystem 
rejects the command. 
ZSPI-TKN-SSID 
specifies the subsystem ID. This token is required in all commands and responses. 
The SSINIT procedure initializes the command buffer with this token, using the 
value defined in the subsystem’s definition file. The value used for TCP/IP is 
ZTCI-VAL-SSID. The contents of the token are:
def ZTCI-VAL-SSID tacl ssid.
 02 Z-FILLER type character 8
 value is ZSPI-VAL-TANDEM.
 02 Z-OWNER redefines Z-FILLER
 type ZSPI-DDL-CHAR8.
 02 Z-NUMBER type ZSPI-DDL-INT
 value is ZSPI-SSN-ZTCI.
 02 Z-VERSION type ZSPI-DDL-UINT
 value is ZTCI-VAL-VERSION.
end.
ZSPI-TKN-USEDLEN 
specifies the length of the used portion of a command message. The value of this 
token is used to verify that the entire message has been read by the server. The
