Parameters

opcode
AP_SESSION_FAILURE_INDICATION
format
Identifies the format of the VCB. This field is set to zero to specify the version of the VCB listed above.
primary_rc
AP_OK
secondary_rc
Equals zero.
lu_name
LU name. This name is an 8-byte type-A EBCDIC character string.
lu_alias
Locally defined LU alias. This is an 8-byte string in a locally displayable character set. All 8 bytes are significant.
plu_alias
Partner LU alias. This is an 8-byte string in a locally displayable character set.
fqplu_name
17-byte fully qualified network name for the partner LU. This name is composed of two type-A EBCDIC character strings concatenated by an EBCDIC dot, and is right-padded with EBCDIC spaces. (Each name can have a maximum length of 8 bytes with no embedded spaces.)
mode_name
Mode name, which designates the network properties for a group of sessions. This is an 8-byte alphanumeric type-A EBCDIC string (starting with a letter), padded to the right with EBCDIC spaces.
session_id
8-byte identifier of the session.
sense_data
The sense data detailing the cause of the session deactivation.
