Question on cmdType from BCPii event

Issue/Introduction

I am having trouble finding the correct IBM doc on how to map api.cmdType.  When I did a SENDCMD with TEMPCAP, I received a HWSCMDRESP API event and the value of api.cmdType was 26.  I wanted to convert these to meaningful values but having trouble finding the right IBM doc.  The OPS manual does not give a chart or ref. any IBM doc. that I can see.  I did try the callable services manual but not successful.

Environment

Release : 13.5 and above

Component : OPS/MVS

Resolution
