Privilege Class: B, E
Purpose
Use QUERY CHPIDS to display all 256 of the machine's channel paths and their physical status.
Usage Notes
- The QUERY CHPIDS command shows all 256 channel paths on your system and their physical status. For information about logical channel paths, see the QUERY CHPID command (see QUERY CHPID).

commands:
- DEFINE CHPID or PATH (see DEFINE CHPID / PATH)
- DELETE CHPID or PATH (see DELETE CHPID / PATH)
