generic-device-description-name

Specify a generic device description name.

Note: A generic name is specified as a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). If a generic name is specified, then all objects that have names with the same prefix as the generic object name are selected.

device-description-name

Work with a specific device description.

Remote location (RMTLOCNAME)

Specifies the remote location name for those device descriptions that are to be displayed. Only those device descriptions with the specified remote location name are listed on the Work with Device Descriptions display. This parameter is required if *LOC is specified for the Device description (DEVD) parameter. It is not a valid parameter if any value other than *LOC is specified for the DEVD parameter.

*NONE

If *NONE is specified, all of the devices with a remote location name of *NONE can be worked with.

Note: *NONE should be specified if any value other than *LOC is specified for the DEVD parameter.

remote-location-name

Specify the remote location name of the devices you want to work with.

generic-controller-description

Specify a generic controller description.
