Base DDM Query Reply Formats

The following query reply formats are examples of some of the Base + SDP (self-defining parameter) combinations possible. Not all of the combinations are shown.

Table 1. Base DDM Query Reply Format with Name and Direct Access Self-Defining Parameters
Offset Length Content Meaning
0 1 word Length Length of structure (includes self-defining parameters)
2 1 byte X'81' Query reply ID
3 1 byte X'95' Query Reply type
4–5 2 bytes FLAGS Reserved
6–7 2 bytes LIMIN Maximum DDM bytes allowed in inbound transmission
8–9 2 bytes LIMOUT Maximum DDM bytes allowed in outbound transmission
10 1 byte NSS Number of subsets supported
11 1 byte DDMSS DDM subset identifier
12 1 byte Length (n+2) Parameter length
13 1 byte X'02' DDM application name
14– (13+n) n bytes Name Name of the remote application program
14+n 1 byte X'04' Parameter length
15+n 1 byte X'01' Direct access ID
16+n – 17+n 2 bytes DOID Destination/origin ID assigned by the subsystem

The self-defining parameters begin at offsets 12 and (14 + n) where n is the length of the application name supplied at offset 14.
