Table 4-3 Peripheral Device Information Record Structure
Byte Contents and Meaning
0 The length of this record, including this byte
1 Function Management Header (FMH) concatenation. An FMH is SNA-specific
information which may be present to perform the following functions:
• Select a destination and control the way data is handled there.
• Change the characteristics of data or its destination.
• Transmit status information about a destination, such as for a program or a device
Bit 0 indicates the following:
• 0 = No FMH follows.
• 1 = Another FMH follows.
Bits 1–7 are set to binary 0000010 to indicate an FMH-2 identifier.
2 Indicates that this record is a PDIR. Its value is !01.
3 A PDIR request identifier.
Values are as follows:
• 0 = Standard PDIR.
• 1 = Job separator PDIR.
• 2 = System message PDIR.
All other values are undefined
NOTE: Bytes 4–99 are transmitted by the host in EBCDIC. NRJE translates each of
the fields in this range to ASCII. If NRJE is configured to log the PDIRs, those fields
are logged in ASCII.
4–11 Data set creation date, in ASCII characters. The format is
MM/DD/YY
The default value is 00/00/00.
12–19 Data set creation time, in ASCII characters. The format is
The default is 00.00.00
HH.MM.SS
20–27 Form name as specified in the job JCL, in ASCII, left-justified, with trailing blanks.
JES2 typically uses STD, JES3 typically uses 1PRT, and VSE/POWER uses (eight blank
characters) to indicate standard form. Special form names are transferred in this field.
28–35 Forms Control Buffer (FCB), in ASCII, left-justified, with trailing blanks. This field is
ignored by NRJE if your workstation is configured to route output using the Lookup
Table. If the Lookup Table is not in use, the FCB is used to identify an HP 2680A
environment file name.
