This trace record shows the status of each (Get Cell) request for a CSM cell. It captures the outcome of the CELLCTL FUNC(GET) macro. This macro is used by DLC components.

There is no corresponding free cell event. The cells are freed directly to CSM using IVTCSM REQUEST=FREE_BUFFER (see FRBF entry for FREE_BUFFER requests) and are normally freed by non-VTAM components.
