Return Format
The command returns an ASCII string enclosed in double quotes as shown in the table above. To read the string into your computer, be sure to dimension a string variable with at least 60 characters.
If a module is installed in the specified slot but cannot be properly identified, the command responds with an "Card not supported by mainframe" string. An error is also generated and reported to all I/O sessions.
If a module is installed in the specified slot but a firmware incompatibility exists, the command responds with a "Card FW incompatible with mainframe" string. An error is also generated and reported to all I/O sessions.
If a module is installed in the specified slot but a self-test error has occurred, the command responds with a "Fatal boot self-test failure" string. An error is also generated and reported to all I/O sessions.
Example
The following command returns the description of the module in slot 3 (the quotes are also returned).
