EDTINFO

The EDTINFO (EDT) service provides information about unit names in the current Eligible Device Table (EDT).

Unit names are subdivided into generic and esoteric :

  • Generic names are IBM device type names such as 3380, 3390, or 3400-6.
  • Esoteric names are user defined (for example, SYSDA, TAPE, and CART).

Syntax

GUID-8B25E1AB-F0A9-40A6-A4C5-953BB87FCDBE-low.pngThe parameters are defined as follows:

 

Parameters

Description

classname

displays a list of the generic and esoteric unit names for the specified class name

You must prefix the class name with an equal (=) sign. The default is =DASD. Supported class names are DASD, TAPE, UREC, COMM, CTC, CHAR, and DISP.

unitname

displays the device number, device type, volser, and the use status of the specified unit name

The rest of these parameters are valid only when the first parameter is unitname:

ALL

displays information for all devices

PUBLIC

for DASD devices, limits the display to devices that contain volumes with a use attribute of PUBLIC; this parameter is ignored for other device types

PRIVATE

for DASD devices, limits the display to devices that contain volumes with a use attribute of PRIVATE; this parameter is ignored for other device types

STORAGE

for DASD devices, limits the display to devices that contain volumes with a use attribute of STORAGE; this parameter is ignored for other device types

ONLINE

limits the display to online devices (default)

OFFLINE

limits the display to offline devices

Usage notes

  • You can abbreviate the class name to the shortest unique value, as illustrated in the following examples:
    • =T or =TA (for TAPE)
    • =U or =UR (for UREC)
  • Unlike class names, unit names cannot be abbreviated.
  • You can include devices in multiple unit names.
  • For DASD devices, one of these use statuses is displayed:
    • PRIVATE
    • PUBLIC
    • STORAGE
