{
{     The purpose of this request is to execute diagnostics which are
{ capable of execution by a host command to the element and which do
{ not require additional host mainframe resources to initiate.
{     Each system element or subsystem will have its own constraints
{ concerning the conditions under which its diagnostics may be used
{ and the dependencies, if any, upon other elements for delivery of
{ the diagnostic capability.
{
{        MSP$EXECUTE_DIAGNOSTICS (DIAGNOSTIC_PATH, RESULTS, STATUS)
{
{ DIAGNOSTIC_PATH: (input) This parameter specifies the identity of the
{        target element, component or subsystem as well as a description
{        of which intermediate elements to use, if any, to initiate the
{        diagnostic execution.   If both a controller and a storage-device
{        are unnecessary for channel or channel-adapter diagnostic execution,
{        then set the name of the unnecessary element to osc$null_name.
{        Similarly void any unnecessary element for controller or storage-
{        device diagnostic execution.
{
{ RESULTS: (output) This parameter specifies the hardware-dependent
{        results of the diagnostic execution.
{
{ STATUS: (output) This parameter specifies the request status.
