Z-CURRENT-VOL-SUBVOL of ZVPT-LINK-DATA-L
is the current default volume and subvolume for the TACL process associated with 
the terminal. The volume and subvolume names are in internal form 
(16 characters). This field is used to resolve file names. It corresponds to the user’s 
default subvolume as of the last time the TACL screen was entered. If no TACL 
connection is present, this field contains the name of the ViewPoint data subvolume.  
If this is not the appropriate subvolume, the field can be changed by the ZVPT-
EXTRAS program.
Z-STATUS-CONFIG-FILENAME of ZVPT-LINK-DATA-L
is the file name of the current status configuration file. This file name is in internal 
form.  It is the same as would be displayed by the Profile screen.
Z-EVENT-CONFIG-FILENAME of ZVPT-LINK-DATA-L
is the file name of the current event configuration file. This file name is in internal 
form.  It is the same as would be displayed by the Profile screen.
Z-USER-ID of ZVPT-LINK-DATA-L
is the user ID of the operator who is currently logged on to the ViewPoint 
application. This user ID is in internal form, consisting of two binary numbers—the 
group ID and the user ID. This value changes if the user ID is changed from the 
TACL screen.
Z-LAST-SCREEN of ZVPT-USER-REQUEST
is one to sixteen characters identifying the screen from which the Extras screen was 
invoked. The value is padded on the right with blanks. The following list shows the 
possible values of this field and the corresponding invoking screens. (Note that in 
these values, case is significant.)
"Status" Network Status Summary screen
"Pri-Event" Primary Events screen
"Alt-Event" Alternate Events screen
"Last-Event" Last Events screen
"TACL" TACL conversational screen
"Profile" Profile screen
Z-FUNCTION-KEY of ZVPT-USER-REQUEST
is one to sixteen characters identifying the function (screen) to be invoked. The 
value is padded on the right with blanks. On entry to the ZVPT-EXTRAS program 
unit, the value is “Return.” If the value is not modified, then on exit from the ZVPT- 
EXTRAS program unit, the old screen (from which the Extras screen was invoked) 
is reestablished. If the value is changed, a new function is invoked on return from 
ZVPT-EXTRAS. The following list shows the possible values of this field and 
identifies the screen that is invoked when each value is moved into Z-FUNCTION-
KEY. (Note that in these values, case is significant.)
"Status" Network Status Summary screen
"Pri-Event" Primary Events screen
