VRM Device Control Functions - Definition Structure

CA WA CA 7 Edition treats a resource count resource definition as a VRM device definition based upon the structure of the name. The name of a resource count resource that is used as a VRM device definition conforms to the following format:

VRMDD.Dxxxxxxxx.Uyyyyyyyy/nnnn
xxxxxxxx

Specifies the device code in character hex. If the device code is not available, a value of 00000000 is used.

yyyyyyyy

Specifies the UNIT name. If the unit name is not available, no value is used.

nnnn

Specifies the number of references to this device code and UNIT combination calculated during the CA WA CA 7 Edition Database LOAD process.

Each of the following is a valid VRM device definition:

VRMDD.D12345678.UROUND/0030
VRMDD.D00000000.UCART/0010
VRMDD.D00000000.U/0050

VRM device definitions can be listed on the job's RM.1 panel. The term 'VRMDD.' begins each definition. Because VRM resource names may have already been defined that begin with 'VRMDD.' we recommend using RM.2 to list all VRM resources that conflict before implementation of the feature.
