G'Day, Could someone clear up what the command DS QD,413Z,VALIDATE actually do? The doc says the following:
VALIDATE : Uses status information acquired directly from a device to correct inconsistent extended function status information maintained in host processor storage. VALIDATE has no effect if the unit address has no physical device attached I am not sure what "to correct inconsistent extended function.." does. Is it safe to use? Could you please help me understand IBM's explanation because it is not clear. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
