Examples of 3600 and 3770 batch destinations

These examples assume the following:
  • Terminal identifiers T36n and T37n are 3600 logical units and 3770 batch logical units respectively; all others are start-stop or BSC terminals.
  • LDC mnemonics DS and LP have been defined for the system and T361, T362, and T363 during resource definition.
  • LDC mnemonic P1 has been defined for the system and T371, T372, and T373 during resource definition.

    You can also use the TYPETERM LDCLIST attribute of RDO to define these mnemonics instead of the DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL macro shown.

  • Terminal list table DFHTLTL3 contains entries for:
    T361*DS
    T362*DS/OP1
    T362*DS/OP2
    T363
    T371*P1
    T372*P1/OP1
    T372*P1/OP2
    T373
    T40.
  • Terminal list table DFHTLTL4 contains entries for:
    T361*DS
    T362*DS/OP1
    T362*DS/OP2
    T363
    T40.
1. R=T361*DS
Route message to terminal identifier T361 qualified by LDC mnemonic DS.2. R=(T361*DS,T362*DS/OP1,T363,T371*P1, T372*P1/OP1,T373,T40) Route message to:
  • T361 and T362 qualified by LDC mnemonic DS
  • T363, using the default LDC
  • T371 and T372 qualified by LDC mnemonic P1
  • T373 console keyboard/printer
  • T40, which is a start-stop or BSC terminal.

T362 and T372 require that an operator with identification OP1 be signed on before the message can be sent.

Note: The default LDC mnemonic for T363 must indicate the same device type as LDC mnemonic DS.
3. R=ALL*LP
Route message to all terminals (3600, 3770 batch and interactive logical units, start-stop, and BSC) with all 3600 destinations qualified by mnemonic LP. LP is ignored for start-stop and BSC destinations.
4. R=.L3
Use the terminal list table DFHTLTL3 for message destinations. (This is the same as example 2, plus T362*DS/OP2 and T372*P1/OP2.)
5. R=(.L3,−T362*DS/OP2,−T372*P1/OP2)
This is the same as example 4, but deletes T362*DS/OP2 and T372*P1/OP2, so is the same result as example 2.
6. R=(.L3,−T362*DS)
This is the same as example 4, but deletes all entries for T362*DS (with or without opids). The result is T361*DS, T363, all T37n terminals, and T40.
7. R=(.L3,−T362)
This is the same as example 6. −T362 deletes all entries for T362.
8. R=.L4*LP
LDC mnemonic LP qualifies (overrides) all entries in DFHTLTL4. Resulting destinations are: T361*LP T362*LP/OP1 T362*LP/OP2 T363*LP T40*LP
Note: The LP mnemonic has no effect on the start-stop or BSC terminal T40.
9. R=(.L4*LP,−T362*DS)
The −T362*DS causes no action, because the TLT destinations are qualified by LDC mnemonic LP before the additions or deletes are processed, thus causing no matching entry to delete.
10. R=(.L4,+T363*LP)
Cause error message ‘INVALID LDC AT T363*LP' to be generated. LDC mnemonic LP has a different device type from LDC mnemonic DS (first 3600 destination encountered is T361*DS). All 3600 destinations for one message must indicate the same device type. All 3770 batch logical unit destinations for one message must indicate the same device type.
11. R=/OP2
Route message to the first terminal or logical unit found in the CICS® terminal definition with operator identifier OP2 currently signed on. If OP2 is signed on to T362, the resulting destination is T362/OP2 with the default LDC mnemonic for logical unit T362. The default is DS because it is the first LDC mnemonic defined for T362. The resulting destination is T362*DS/OP2.
