DEV — Device Type (Selection Parameter)

Tells EREP to

Select or exclude records associated with the specified generic device types.

The following are valid device types for DEV:

The following are valid general device classes for DEV:

23XX  27XX  32XX  33XX  34XX  35XX  37XX  38XX  ESIO

DEV=(type | Ntype[,type| Ntype]…)

type: A four character field: either a specific device type (3340, 3420) or the representation of a class of devices (33XX, 34XX).
N: Indicates not; excludes a device type from the report.

EREP processes records associated with all device types.

Maximum of eight entries.
The device type numbers must be enclosed in parentheses.
You cannot select and exclude devices on the same DEV parameter; DEV=(3330,N2400) is invalid.
DEV=(NMVT) selects NMVT records from all devices.
DEV=(ESIO) selects the I/O units that are supported in EREP on the ESCON ® links. See ESIO I/O Connected to an ESCON Link for more information.

ZERO

If you use the DEV parameter, you cannot use ZERO=Y because you have excluded some records from processing.
The only record types affected by the DEV parameter are the following:
Record types

A3 (A) MDR (T)

CCH (C) MIH (H)

DDR (D) OBR (O)
Special restrictions apply if you use the DEV parameter with any of the following parameters:
- DEVSER
- LIA/LIBADR
- TYPE
- THRESHOLD
- VOLID
See the other parameter descriptions and Product-Dependent Information for the special restrictions.
If a device is emulating another device, use the device type number of the emulated device on the DEV parameter.
EREP interprets some DEV entries to mean more than just the device you have coded; see Product-Dependent Informationfor additional device-specific considerations.

To select records from specific devices or a class of devices:

DEV=(3420)

DEV=(33XX,3705)

To exclude the records from specific devices or a class of devices:

DEV=(N3420)

DEV=(N33XX,N3705)
