CEST - supervisory terminal

Use CEST to invoke a subset of the master terminal (CEMT) transaction. The CEST INQ|SET commands allows you to inquire about and alter some of the values of lines, netnames, tasks, and terminals.

CEST can be invoked from 3270 family display devices, or from equivalent terminals, or from the operating system console.

All of the CEST commands require the SUPRID keyword to be specified. SUPRID identifies the supervisor invoking the transaction, and its value is the 1-or 2-character suffix of a terminal list table (TLT). For information about the SUPRID keyword, see TLT - terminal list table.

For example, CEST INQ TERMINAL SUPRID(AL) displays the status of all the terminals in the DFHTLTA1 table. Values can be changed by overtyping the display or by using CEST SET commands. Apart from the requirement that SUPRID has to be specified, the syntax of the commands and the meaning of the values is exactly as described in CEMT INQUIRE|SET LINE, NETNAME, TASK, and TERMINAL.
