Operation Notes
This command displays the status information about one or more currently defined input
device files. This information reflects the status at the time the command is entered, and
always appears on the standard list device. Except for the keyword STATUS, which has its
own format (refer to "Parameters"), the format of the information is as follows:
DEV/CL DFID JOBNUM FNAME STATE FRM SPACE RANK PRI #C
10 #I10 #J133 $STDIN OPENED
The information displayed in this format is defined as follows:
COLUMN MEANING
DEV/CL Logical device number of device.
DFID Device file identification in the form #Innn. The number displayed in the
DFID is identical to the LDEV number.
JOBNUM Job or session number (jsnum) of the job or session using the device file, if
not used for READY or ACTIVE data. Otherwise, the job/session name
appears on the line following standard device information.
FNAME File name associated with the device file.
STATE One of the following:
ACTIVE Input being read from a spooled device to a disk.
READY Input spooling completed; file is now ready for use by a
program.
OPENED A file is being accessed by a program.
FRM Forms message indicator. The letter F appears only if a forms alignment
message applies to the device file. Does not apply to input files.
SPACE Approximate disk space currently used (in sectors), for jobs only.
RANK The order in which the file is entered into the system with respect to other
files of the same priority and class name or logical device.
The letter D following RANK indicates a deferred file for spooled device files
only. A file can be deferred if its priority is less than or equal to the system
outfence or the outfence of a specific device.
