Command Descriptions
Command Descriptions
Each command description contains a box that shows the symbolic name of the
command number (such as ZTMF-CMD-Abort), the symbolic name for the object type
of the command (such as ZTMF-OBJ-Transaction), a list of tokens that the command
buffer can contain, and a list of tokens that the response buffer can contain.
The notation used for simple tokens in the syntax box is an abbreviated version of the
essential information given in the DDL Token-Code statement. Extensible structured
tokens are defined by using DDL Definition statements.
The tokens listed in the response buffer represent the tokens that can be present in
one response record of a response that consists of multiple response records—except
for the ZSPI-TKN-Context token. See the
SPI Programming Manual
for more
information about responses consisting of multiple response records.
The order of the tokens in the syntax box is not necessarily the order in which they
must occur in a command or response buffer—except for the ZSPI-TKN-EndList token.
The ZSPI-TKN-EndList token always appears at the end of a list that begins with the
ZSPI-TKN-DataList or ZSPI-TKN-ErrList token.
Data lists and error lists are always indicated with an ellipsis (...). Data lists begin with
the ZSPI-TKN-DataList token (followed by an ellipsis), and error lists begin with the
ZSPI-TKN-ErrList token (followed by an ellipsis). Both types of lists (data and error)
end with the ZSPI-TKN-EndList token. The ZSPI-TKN-EndList token is indented to
symbolize that it is only used if a list token is present. For more information about data
lists and error lists, see the
SPI Programming Manual
.
The tokens displayed for the command and response buffers are described in the
same order in which they appear in the syntax box. The descriptions indicate whether
the tokens are optional or required, and whether multiple occurrences of the tokens are
allowed.
