z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 1, Techniques and Procedures
GC27-3667-00

The following operands are used in creating a Boolean expression. For further information on these operands, see Using the template.
VIT options or entries
VIT entries with names identical to option names must be prefaced with an E and enclosed in single quotation marks (for example, E'MSG'). This distinguishes the name as an entry rather than an option. A VIT option or unique entry name requires no preface.
Address
Preface an address with an A and enclose it in single quotation marks (for example, A'xxxxxxxx', where xxxxxxxx is the hex address).
Address offset
Specify the offset for an address after the address string, and separate the address string and the offset with a colon (for example, A'xxxxxxxx':nn, where xxxxxxxx is the hex address and nn is the offset).
Note: Only decimal offsets are allowed.
Character string
Preface a character string with a C and enclose it in single quotation marks (for example, C"ccccc...", where ccccc... represents the character string). Data is case-sensitive.
Character string offset
Specify the offset for a character string after the character string, and separate the character string and the offset with a colon (for example, C"ccccc...":nn, where ccccc... is the character string and nn is the offset).
Note: Only decimal offsets are allowed.
Hexadecimal string
Preface a hex string with an X and enclose it in single quotation marks (for example, X'xxxxx...', where xxxxx... represents the hex string).
Hex string offset
Specify the offset for a hex string after the hex string, and separate the hex string and the offset with a colon (for example, X'xxxxx...':nn, where xxxxx... is the hex string and nn is the offset).
Note: Only decimal offsets are allowed.
CSM buffer token
Enter 1–12 bytes of hexadecimal digits representing a CSM buffer token. If fewer than 12 bytes are supplied, the buffer token is padded on the left with zeros. In a CSM VIT record, there may be one or two buffer tokens. The following CSM VIT records have one or two buffer tokens:
VIT Record
Number of tokens
ASN2
2
CHG2
2
CPY3
1
CPY4
1
FIX2
2
FRB2
2
GTB3
1
PAG2
2
XBA2
1
XBI2
1

If the buffer token matches a token in a VIT entry, the VIT entry and its related entries are extracted. For example, if a GTB3 entry is matched, the corresponding GTBF, GTB2, and other GTB3 entries are also extracted.

Note: When extracting VIT entries using the CSM buffer token, bit 0 in the token is masked. Therefore, the token fields in the extracted VIT entries may not exactly match the input token.
Origin
To extract PIU entries originating at a designated network address, enter 1–12 hex characters (representing the 6-byte network address) in the form O'xx…'.
Note: The address is right-aligned and padded with zeros on the left. For example, O'3001A' means subarea 3 element 1A.
Destination
To extract PIU entries destined for a particular network address, enter 1–12 hex characters (representing the 6-byte network address) in the form D'xx…'.
Note: The address is right-aligned and padded with zeros on the left. For example, D'4E' means subarea 0 element 4E.
All
Specify ALL to extract all VIT entries. ALL is not valid with any other operand or operator.
Note: You may also extract all VIT entries without entering the ALL operand. For example, 'gblk | ¬ gblk' will extract all VIT entries.
