The Peer-to-Peer VTS data (PTPDATA) function allows an installation or application, such as Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS), to obtain operational mode settings and device-related information from the PTP VTS library. (See Geographically dispersed parallel sysplex support for peer-to-peer VTS for more information on GDPS.)
Figure 1 provides the CBRXLCS Assembler macro syntax that is used to perform the PTPDATA function.
