LTERM lookup

Use the LTERM Lookup panel to determine how ETO terminal-related control blocks are built for specific LTERMs during unknown destination processing.

This panel is displayed if you choose option 4 on the Translation Table Menu panel.

To view the options that are in effect for the LTERM during unknown destination processing, search the options data set (option 1) or the E/CSA table (option 2).

This panel searches multiple tables looking for a matching LTERM name. The tables are searched looking for an exact name match and, if none is found, two of the tables are searched looking for an LTERM that matches with mask characters. The table search sequence is:

USERID table
SLU1 console table
SLUP/3600/FINANCE table
SLU2/3270 table
PRINTER LTERM table

If no exact match is found in these tables, the mask character search continues with:

SLU2/3270 table
PRINTER LTERM table

If a matching LTERM is found, the remaining fields of the screen are populated with any defined options. The data contained in the remaining fields is as follows:

REPLACEMENT STRING: The value used for remapping outbound messages.
RESULT LTERM: When a message is sent to IMS, IMS ETO Support remaps the destination LTERM name to this name by using the value specified in REPLACEMENT STRING.
If mask characters are used in REPLACEMENT STRING, IMS ETO Support merges the original LTERM name with the REPLACEMENT STRING value to build the resulting name. If no mask characters are used, the new name is built from the REPLACEMENT STRING value.
TABLE ENTRY: Name of the member that had a matching LTERM or mask character.
TABLE TYPE: Table where the listed member exists.
RESULT USER: Name that IMS ETO Support returns to IMS for the USER (SPQB) control block.
LTERM MASK: This is the name of the LTERM or the LTERM with mask characters that matches the search argument.

The remaining fields are populated only if a matching LTERM was found in the PRINTER LTERM table. The data contained in the remaining fields is as follows:

USER DFSINSX1: Whether (Y) or not (N) control is passed to customer-supplied exit DFSINSX1.
NODE MASK: This field is populated from the PRINTER LTERM table entry.
RESULT NODE: NODE name that IMS ETO Support passes back to IMS for AUTOLOGON. If mask characters are present in the NODE MASK field, this name has been put through name merge with the LTERM field.
LOGONMODE: VTAM® log mode used during auto logon processing.
LOGON DESC: IMS logon descriptor used during auto logon processing.
ASOT: Auto signoff timeout value set for this device during auto logon processing.
MSGDEL: IMS MSGDEL option set for this device during auto logon processing.

Keep in mind that if the options are not working for a particular LTERM, you should check both the options data set and the E/CSA table. The options might have been saved to the options data set, but the E/CSA table might not have been refreshed. Options entered into the system are not available until after the system has been refreshed. The system is refreshed when IMS is restarted or when you use the IMS ETO Support refresh options.

If you are still not getting the options you want, remember that LTERM mask characters might cause duplicate LTERM names. Review the LTERM definitions in your SLU2/3270 and PRINTER LTERM tables to ensure that you are not getting undesired results.
