SYMCDE — Fault Symptom Code (Selection Parameter)

Tells EREP to

Select for the requested report only those 33XX DASD records having the specified fault symptom code. The symptom code consists of the bit settings in a two-byte field of the sense data in an OBR record for a 33XX DASD.

Defaults

EREP processes 33XX records regardless of their symptom code bit settings.

Coding

No special considerations.

Notes

• If you use the SYMCDE parameter, you cannot use ZERO=Y because you have excluded some records from processing.
• The SYMCDE parameter only affects TYPE=O records that contain a symptom code.
• The combination of digits and Xs on the parameter indicate how specific you are being: if you code 4032, you want EREP to select only the records containing that exact symptom code; if you code 40XX, you want EREP to select the records containing symptom codes that begin with 40.
