Resource status codes and modifiers

VTAM® provides detailed information on the status of a resource. This status is defined by a state code that contains as many as 10 characters.

Note: The resource state code abbreviation might be truncated if optional status information is displayed in positions 4—10. For example, ACTIV is displayed if an LU is in an active state. If a session is queued, pending active, or active for this LU, the resource status modifier /S appears in positions 4 and 5, and ACTIV is truncated (ACT/S).

See Resource status modifiers (positions 4 and 5) and Resource status field information (positions 6–10) for additional information.

The status code abbreviation appears in some VTAM messages in response to a DISPLAY ID command. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for more information about the DISPLAY ID command and the messages issued by VTAM in response to this command.
