John,

A long time ago, I put some comments in my VATLST member that help me to 
remember what things are.  I cut & pasted from my parmlib member from P&H and 
put it in the parmlib here for reference.  You can do the same if you like.  
Here it is:

VATDEF IPLUSE(PRIVATE),SYSUSE(PRIVATE)                       
Z17CAT,1,2,3390    ,Y                                        
Z17DB2,1,2,3390    ,Y                                        
Z17DB3,1,2,3390    ,Y                   CC8  MOUNT STATUS    
Z17DLB,1,2,3390    ,Y                      0 - PERMANENT RES 
Z17HFS,1,2,3390    ,Y                      1 - RESERVED      
Z17RES,1,2,3390    ,Y                                        
Z17RS2,1,2,3390    ,Y                   CC10 MOUNT ATTRIBUTES
Z17RS3,1,2,3390    ,Y                      0 = STORAGE       
Z17SMP,1,2,3390    ,Y                      1 = PUBLIC        
Z17SPL,1,2,3390    ,Y                      2 = PRIVATE
