Device description (DEVD)
Specifies the name of the device description.
This is a required parameter.
Remote location (RMTLOCNAME)
Specifies the name of the remote location with which your program communicates.
- *NONE
- There is no remote location name. This device can represent any remote location.
- remote-location-name
- Specify the name of the remote location.
Online at IPL (ONLINE)
Specifies whether this object is automatically varied on at initial program load (IPL).
- *YES
- This device is varied on automatically at IPL.
- *NO
- This device is not varied on automatically at IPL.
Attached controller (CTL)
Specifies the name of the controller description to which this device is attached.
Note: To use this device for communicating with a remote location that resides on the same system as the local location, specify a controller description that was created with LINKTYPE (*LOCAL) specified.
Text 'description' (TEXT)
Specifies the text that briefly describes the object.
- *BLANK
- No text is specified.
- character-value
- Specify no more than 50 characters of text, enclosed in apostrophes.
Authority (AUT)
Specifies the authority you are giving to users who do not have specific authority for the object, who are not on an authorization list, and whose group profile or supplemental group profiles do not have specific authority for the object.
- *CHANGE
- The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence (*OBJEXIST) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. *CHANGE authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR) authority and all data authority. If the object is an authorization list, the user cannot add, change, or remove users.
- *ALL
- The user can perform all operations except those limited to the owner or controlled by authorization list management (*AUTLMGT) authority. The user can control the object's existence, specify the security for the object, change the object, and perform basic functions on the object. The user also can change ownership of the object.
- *USE
- The user can perform basic operations on the object, such as running a program or reading a file. The user cannot change the object. Use (*USE) authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR), read (*READ), and execute (*EXECUTE) authorities.
- *EXCLUDE
- The user cannot access the object.
- *LIBCRTAUT
- The system determines the authority for the object by using the value specified for the Create authority (CRTAUT) parameter on the Create Library (CRTLIB) command for the library containing the object to be created. If the value specified for the CRTAUT parameter is changed, the new value will not affect any existing objects.
- name
- Specify the name of an authorization list to be used for authority to the object. Users included in the authorization list are granted authority to the object as specified in the list. The authorization list must exist when the object is created.
CRTDEVASC DEVD(ASC001) RMTLOCNAME(NYC) CTL(CTLASCNYC)
