Wiki Category: Glossary of Message Variables

The name of a keyword in a VNAC external host command.

An indentifier assigned to a command and uniquely identifying it within a given VNAC session.

In many VNAC messages, an individual command is uniquely identified by the concatenation #sess-number.cmd-index.cmd-number

Other messages use the variable full-cmd-id, which concatenates sess-number.cmd-index.cmd-id and resolves to an identical value.

A sequentially assigned number to identify a command within a VNAC agent. Use this number in a cancel request to cancel the command.

cmd-id is a part of the concatenation full-cmd-id.

cmd-number  is an alias that resolves to an identical value.

An 8-byte code used to relate response messages to a command. When entered by a user through CONSOLE ACTIVATE, 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters, padded with spaces. When a default STCK TOD value is provided by the console interface, the cart will appear as SCS-CART in debug messages.

The size of the buffer in number of bytes, decimal or hexadecimal.

The three- to four-character eyecatcher in the first four bytes of the buffer that identifies its storage class.

The decimal count of buffers allocated.

The hexadecimal memory address of the buffer.

The authorization mode for a console session: Either S, the agent’s authorization; or R, the logged-in user’s authorization.
