3
ELEM ADDRESS
The element address of the physical line that was being traced.
4
HOST LINK
The logical line number of the line that was being traced.
5
HOST STATION
The logical station number of the station that was being traced.
6
ADAPTER-ID
The logical adapter number given by the NCP in the TRACE START NDPSA.
7
LINE-ADDRESS
The relative line number in the processor of the line that was being traced.
8
CBA-ID
The logical adapter number of the controller bus adapter.
9
COMMAND QUALIFIER
The command and qualifier that was being processed when the trace record was written.
10
TIME
The time that elapsed (in hexadecimal format) between the entries, to the nearest 100 milliseconds. The time is measured from the activation of the trace to the second-level interrupt represented by each entry.
11
SEQ
The sequence counter from the CSS control block that is being displayed.
12
HEX
The hexadecimal trace entry from the control block.
13
TRANSLATION
The EBCDIC equivalent of the hexadecimal trace data.
14 Pertinent fields are extracted from the preceding trace entry and are displayed on a separate line as field names, followed by their corresponding values in parentheses.
15 CSS token-ring data reports only The command identifier for transmit or receive token-ring frames.
The following are examples:
XMT RR .C,F, NR=74
RCV RR .R,F, NR=48
where:
XMT
Transmit frame
RCV
Receive frame
Information frame
I
Supervisory frame

DM, DISC, FRMR, SABME, SIM, TEST, UA, XID
C
Command
R
Response
P
Poll
F
Final
NR
Number of information and supervisory frames received
NS
Number of information and supervisory frames sent
Blank
Unnumbered frame
