ms_category
Management Services category for which the focal point has changed. This can be either one of the category
names specified in the MS Discipline-Specific Application Programs table contained in the
SNA Management
Services Reference, padded on the right with spaces if the name is shorter than 8 bytes, or a user-defined
category. User-defined category names should be an 8-byte type-1134 EBCDIC string, padded on the right
with spaces if the name is shorter than 8 bytes.
fp_fqcp_name
Fully qualified name of the current focal point for the specified MS category. The name is a 17-byte EBCDIC
string, padded on the right with EBCDIC spaces. It consists of a network ID of up to 8 A-string characters,
an EBCDIC dot (period) character, and a network name of up to 8 A-string characters. If this parameter is set
to 17 binary zeros, this indicates that there is no focal point currently defined for the specified MS category;
the previous focal point has been deleted and not replaced.

Related Publications). User-defined names should be an 8-byte type-1134 EBCDIC string, padded on the

that there is no focal point currently defined for the specified MS category; the previous focal point has been
