Use LOCATE VDEV to display the address of control blocks associated with a user
or a user’s virtual device.
userid
identifies the virtual machine whose CP control blocks you want to locate. To
display the address of control blocks associated with your own virtual machine,
specify userid as an asterisk (*).
vdev
vdev1-vdev2
identifies a virtual device number or range of virtual device numbers. When you
specify this option, CP displays the address of the virtual device block (VDEV)
and, if the device is a spooled device, the address of the virtual device
simulation block (VDSBK).
Note: If you do not specify the VDEV keyword, you can only specify one value
for vdev.
1. You can use the LOCATE VDEV userid vdev command to find the RDEV control
block for SNA/CCS terminals. This command returns the address of the VDEV
control block, which contains a pointer to the RDEV.
Response 1:
vdev
vdev1-vdev2
If you use the LOCATE VDEV command to display the addresses of control blocks
for a range of virtual devices for the DAVID user ID, you may see something like
this:
