Parameter Description for APPL(jxxxxxxx)

COMPACT=nn
Specifies the compaction table number (0-99) to be used for outbound compaction in communicating with this application at the specified node. Zero denotes no compaction.

If you do not specify this parameter, it defaults to the value for COMPACT specified on the NODE(xxxxxxxx) initialization statement, which defines the node indicated by the NODE=nnnn parameter on this statement.

CONNECT= (Yes|No|DEFAULT,interval)
Specifies whether an NJE connection should be automatically attempted for this APPL statement. If DEFAULT is specified, processing defers to the CONNECT=(YES|NO) value that is specified on the associated NODE statement. The interval is the approximate time (in minutes) between attempted connections. The valid range for interval is 0 to 1440. A value of 0 indicates that the default interval (from NJEDEF CONNECT=) should be used. The default CONNECT value is DEFAULT, and the default interval is 0.
LINE=nnnnn
A dedicated line used for the SNA NJE session associated with this application. Range is 0–65535.

Default: 0 (No line is dedicated)

LOGMODE=avvvvvvv
Specifies the logon mode table entry name for this application. This name will determine which entry in the VTAM® application logon mode table is to be used to provide a set of session parameters for the application program if the program participates as the secondary end of a session. This parameter is valid only for NJE applications. The name specified should follow the VTAM naming conventions for a logon mode table entry name. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming for more information about the logon mode table.

The name defaults to blanks, and VTAM uses the logon mode table entry referenced by the application (jxxxxxxx).

LOGON=logon
Specifies the device control table (DCT) to which this application is to be connected.
NODE=nnnnn | xxxxxxxx
Specifies the node number (1 to 32767) or the symbolic node name of the node at which this JES2 application is defined to VTAM. If you code the symbolic name:
  • The symbolic name must also be defined on the NAME= parameter of the NODE initialization statement for the referenced node, or defined on a DESTID initialization statement.
  • The NODE statement where the name is defined or the DESTID statement where the name is defined must be placed before the APPL statement in the initialization stream.

This parameter is required.

REST=nnnn
Specifies an integer (0-2000), which represents the resistance rating of the connection as viewed by the installation manager and coordinated with other installations. See z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide for details concerning selecting a resistance value.

If you do not specify this parameter, it defaults to the value for REST=, specified on the NODE(xxxxxxxx) initialization statement, which defines the node indicated by the NODE=xxxxxxxx parameter on this statement.
