Switch Operations Facility › SOF Server Commands › Display Commands

Display Commands

The display commands return information about SOF servers and hardware devices in the shared I/O configuration.

The DISPLAY CHPID, DISPLAY CU, DISPLAY DEVICE, and DISPLAY SWITCH command displays have two formats, with different content, controlled by the specification of the hardware device and the DEVID common parameter:

• LOCAL format

  If a local z/OS device number is specified without the DEVID common parameter being specified, the LOCAL format of the display is returned.

• GLOBAL format

  If an SOF relative global device number or descriptive name is specified, or if the DEVID common parameter is specified, the GLOBAL format of the display is returned.
