device_address: Address of the device associated with the returned information. This is not necessarily the same as the input dev_string.
device_class: Device class stored in the unit control block (for example, COMM, DISP or CTC).
self_describing: An indication of whether the device is self-describing (YES or NO).
device_type: Actual device type returned to MVS™ during VARY ONLINE processing, or *N/A* if not applicable.
device_model: Model number for this device, or *N/A* if not applicable.
defined_type: Defined device type specified by the user. For example, 3705 is specified for a 3705, 3725, 3745, or *N/A* if not applicable. This should always be defined.
generic_family: Generic family of this device specified by the device: 3745 for 3745, or *N/A* if not applicable.
PU_type: Physical unit type of the device (for example, 2 or 21 or 4, or *N/A* if not applicable).
TG_number: Transmission group number of the device: 0–255, or *N/A* if not applicable.
IPL_online: Status of the device at IPL: ONLINE, OFFLINE, or *N/A* if not applicable.
current_online: Status of the device currently: ONLINE or OFFLINE.
allocate: Status of allocation: ALLOCATED or UNALLOCATED.
config_token: Token representing the current I/O configuration. The actual I/O configuration is not printable in EBCDIC.
maxbufru: Maximum number of buffers to be set aside by the host, or *N/A* if not applicable.
maxdata: Maximum number of bytes the PU can receive in one PIU, or *N/A* if not applicable.
logical_terminals: Character string of 256 ones and zeros. A 1 indicates a logical terminal exists at that offset, or *N/A* if not applicable. This string defines the number of logical units to be generated and the local address for each.
owner: Value entered into HCD for the subsystem or access method using this device, or *N/A* if not applicable. Any embedded blanks in the owner string are replaced with the underscore (_) character.
ncp_pu_type: Value entered into HCD for PU type, or *N/A* if not applicable.
ncp_timeout: Value entered into HCD for attention response timeout for the device, or *N/A* if not applicable.
ncp_delay: Value entered into HCD for maximum delay before attention to channel, or *N/A* if not applicable.
ncp_maxbufru: Value entered into HCD for maximum number of host buffers allocated for the device, or *N/A* if not applicable.
ncp_inbfrs: Value entered into HCD for initial allocation of control buffers for the device, or *N/A* if not applicable.
ncp_maxdata: Value entered into HCD for the maximum number of bytes the PU can receive in one data transfer for the device, or *N/A* if not applicable.
ncp_transfr: Value entered into HCD for the number of NCP buffers for MAXDATA transfer for the device, or *N/A* if not applicable.
