Notes:
  1. Depending on the value of the DSPLYWLD start option, wildcard values can be used for this operand.

Abbreviations

Operand Abbreviation
DISPLAY D
SCOPE=ACT ACT or A
SCOPE=ACTONLY ACTONLY
SCOPE=ACTSESS ACTSESS
SCOPE=ALL EVERY or E
SCOPE=CONCT CONCT
SCOPE=INACT INACT or I
SCOPE=INACTONLY INACTONL
SCOPE=PENDING PEND
SCOPE=RELSD RELSD
SCOPE=RESET RESET

When using an abbreviation in place of an operand, code the abbreviation exactly as shown in the table. For example, when coding the abbreviation for SCOPE=ALL, code only EVERY or E. Do not code SCOPE=E.

Purpose

The DISPLAY STATIONS command displays the status of all cross-subarea link stations for active major nodes.

Operands

ID=name
Specifies the name of one or more major nodes, groups, lines, or link stations. If this operand is specified, information is displayed about only the link stations associated with the specified nodes. If this operand is omitted, information is displayed about all link stations in every active major node.

Depending on the value of the DSPLYWLD start option, wildcard values can be used for this operand. For more information about using wildcards, see Using wildcard names.

Attention: Specifying a wildcard name might degrade performance because VTAM® checks every major node, group, line, and link station in the network.
MAX
Specifies the maximum number of cross-subarea link stations that VTAM displays for this command.
MAX=*
Specifies that the value of the DSPLYMAX start option is used to limit the display output.
MAX=number_of_resources
Specifies the number of cross-subarea link stations that VTAM displays for this command. The valid range is 1–value of DSPLYMAX. The default is the value specified for the DSPLYDEF start option.

Specifying MAX limits the display output. VTAM searches only for the number of instances that you have specified. When that number is found, VTAM does not search any further. This saves processing time for the command and gives you control over the amount of display output generated by the command. If fewer cross-subarea link stations are found than you have specified on MAX, VTAM displays only the stations that are found.

SCOPE
Specifies the required scope of the display.
Note: If you specify the SCOPE operand without specifying a value SCOPE=ALL is assumed.
SCOPE=ACT
Specifies that information is to be displayed about all active, pending, and connectable cross-subarea link stations within each major node or associated with a specific node. If this display is undesirably large, you can use SCOPE=ACTONLY or SCOPE=CONCT to further limit the display.
SCOPE=ACTONLY
Specifies that information is to be displayed about all cross-subarea link stations in an active state within each major node or associated with a specific node. The display does not include link stations in pending or connectable states. If no link stations are found in an active state, you can use SCOPE=ACT to broaden the scope of the display to include those in active, connectable, and pending states.
SCOPE=ACTSESS
Specifies that information is to be displayed about all cross-subarea link stations that are active with sessions within each major node or associated with a specific node.
SCOPE=ALL
Specifies that information is to be displayed about all cross-subarea link stations within each major node or associated with a specific node (regardless of their status).
SCOPE=CONCT
Specifies that information is to be displayed about all cross-subarea link stations in a CONCT (connectable) state within each major node or associated with a specific node. If no link stations are found in a connectable state, you can use SCOPE=ACT to broaden the scope of the display to include those in active, connectable, and pending states.
SCOPE=INACT
Specifies that information is to be displayed about all inactive cross-subarea link stations within each major node or associated with a specific node. If this display is undesirably large, you can use SCOPE=INACTONLY or SCOPE=RESET to further limit the display.
SCOPE=INACTONLY
Specifies that information is to be displayed about all inactive cross-subarea link stations within each major node or associated with a specific node. Resources in a RESET state are not included in the SCOPE=INACTONLY display.
SCOPE=PENDING
Specifies that information is to be displayed about all pending cross-subarea link stations within each major node or associated with a specific node. A pending state is a transient state to or from the fully active state.
SCOPE=RELSD
Specifies that the information is to be displayed about all PUs in a RELSD state within the specified major nodes (or within all NCP, local SNA, and switched major nodes if the ID operand is omitted).
SCOPE=RESET
Specifies that information is to be displayed about cross-subarea link stations in a RESET state within each major node or associated with a specific node.

Resulting display

The resulting display shows:
  • For each major node containing physical units that have subordinate link stations (host PU, NCP major node, or channel-attachment major node), or a node with subordinate or associated link stations:
    • The name of the major node
    • The subarea address of the major node (if it has one)
  • For each link station:
    • The name and status of the link
    • The name and status of the link station
    • The current transmission group number
    • The defined transmission group number (If no specific transmission group number was defined, it is displayed as 0.)
    • The name (if known) and subarea (if known) of any adjacent NCP or host with which the link station is currently associated, and the name of the network in which the adjacent NCP or host is
