Thanks. I knew they were there somewhere, I am embarrassed to admit I saw those earlier but lost track of where they were found.

Chapter 4 of the System z API book (SB10-7030-13) seems to have a lot of information, including some C #define statements giving values for various integer and bit flag values. I'm not quite sure how to map the names (such as HWI_OPERSTAT) used with BCPii into the object names shown in that book, but in the book you'll find these value definitions (for example) that seem meaningful for the results you saw: <quote> /******************************************************************************/ /* Defines for the Hardware Management Console Status Values. */ /******************************************************************************/ #define HWMCA_STATUS_OPERATING 0x00000001 #define HWMCA_STATUS_NOT_OPERATING 0x00000002 #define HWMCA_STATUS_NO_POWER 0x00000004 #define HWMCA_STATUS_NOT_ACTIVATED 0x00000008 #define HWMCA_STATUS_EXCEPTIONS 0x00000010 #define HWMCA_STATUS_STATUS_CHECK 0x00000020 #define HWMCA_STATUS_SERVICE 0x00000040 #define HWMCA_STATUS_LINKNOTACTIVE 0x00000080 #define HWMCA_STATUS_POWERSAVE 0x00000100 #define HWMCA_STATUS_SERIOUSALERT 0x00000200 #define HWMCA_STATUS_ALERT 0x00000400 #define HWMCA_STATUS_ENVALERT 0x00000800 #define HWMCA_STATUS_SERVICE_REQ 0x00001000 #define HWMCA_STATUS_DEGRADED 0x00002000 #define HWMCA_STATUS_STORAGE_EXCEEDED 0x01000000 #define HWMCA_STATUS_LOGOFF_TIMEOUT 0x02000000 #define HWMCA_STATUS_FORCED_SLEEP 0x04000000 #define HWMCA_STATUS_IMAGE_NOT_OPERATING 0x08000000 #define HWMCA_STATUS_IMAGE_NOT_ACTIVATED 0x10000000 #define HWMCA_STATUS_IMAGE_NOT_CAPABLE 0x20000000 #define HWMCA_STATUS_UNKNOWN 0x40000000 </quote> Note that I'm not claiming any BCPii expertise :) -- Walt Farrell IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html This communication may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
