number of devices defined on the DEV parameter of the Create Display <strong>File</strong><br />

devices defined or acquired with the Add ICF Device Entry (ADDICFDEVE) or the<br />

Override ICF Device Entry (OVRICFDEVE) command. For all other files, it has the<br />

The device definition list part of the open feedback area is an array structure. Each<br />

entry in the array contains information about each device or communications<br />

session attached to the file. The number of entries in this array is determined by<br />

the number at offset 146 of the open feedback area. The device definition list<br />

begins at offset 148 of the open feedback area. The offsets shown for it are from the<br />

start of the device definition list rather than the start of the open feedback area.<br />
