The following resource status information can appear in character positions 6–10 in the resource status field in VTAM® messages.
If a character position is not used, a hyphen (-) is displayed. For example, ACTIV--S-- is displayed if the logical unit or cross-domain resource (CDRSC) is in an active state and defined as a shadow resource.
| Resource |
Character |
|
|---|---|---|
| B | 10 | The link station is functioning as a backup for another link station (in certain migration situations). |
| C | 8 | DACTLINK GIVEBACK processing is being done for a LINE as a result of a VARY RELEASE GIVEBACK command issued for an NCP. |
| D | 10 | The resource has been added or moved using dynamic reconfiguration. |
| E | 10 | The link station or cross-subarea link has been explicitly activated. |
| F | 10 | The link station was implicitly activated as a backup. |
| G | 10 | The resource is a logical line. |
| I | 10 | The link station or cross-subarea link has been implicitly (or automatically) activated, as a result of activating a resource to which this link or link station is subordinate or adjacent. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for an explanation of using the RNAME operand or the U operand to automatically activate link stations. |
| L | 8 | An independent LU is using this PU as an adjacent link station. |
| M | 6 | Takeover is in progress for the PU. |
| N | 7 | The resource was not originally owned by the host processing the DISPLAY command. |
| R | 9 | A test-resolve retry condition exists for a local area network active leased line. This condition indicates that VTAM LAN support is sending test LPDUs to a station to resolve a route and will continue to do so until either the station is active or the operator deactivates the line. |
| S | 8 | The logical unit or cross-domain resource (CDRSC) is defined as a shadow resource. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide for more information. |
| T | 10 | The resource (link, physical unit, or logical unit) is attached through the programmed resource capability (NTO) of the NCP. |
| W | 8 | The physical unit is defined with ALLOWACT=YES. |
| X | 9 | The resource was dynamically created. |
| Y | 10 | The cross-domain resource (CDRSC) was created dynamically. |
