Defining PASS type applications

Edit online

To add a PASS application, you can either modify an existing application definition or insert a new APPLDEF command. The basic command format to add a PASS session application is:

APPLDEF sessionid                                 -
        DEST(destination)                         -
        DESC('description')

Note: Most application definitions provided in KLGCAPLS contain more parameters than shown here. At this stage of configuration, you need not concern yourself with the additional parameters (for example, SIMLOGON and USERDATA). For more information on the APPLDEF command, refer to the IBM CL/SuperSession for z/OS 3.1 Customization Guide.

In -RHILEV-.RLSCMDS(KLGCAPLS), specify the sessionid parameter to identify the application (for example, TSOA). The session ID parameter is required and can be up to 8 characters long. Specify the DEST parameter to designate the VTAM network destination (APPLID). This parameter is required. DESC contains the session description that appears on the menu display (for example, 'TSO SYSTEM A'). Add a DESC parameter to describe the session and clarify its use. This parameter is optional. Your application definition might look something like this:

APPLDEF  TSOA                   -
         DEST(your_TSO_APPLID)  -
         DESC('TSO SYSTEM A')
