The LTERM Names (Printer or RCNT) panel displays the printer/RCNT LTERMs that you have defined using IMS ETO Support.

You have two options to set the view on the panel: START and NODE.
  • To use START, enter the first letters of the LTERMs you want displayed and press Enter. The system scrolls to the LTERMs beginning with the letters you entered.
  • To use NODE, enter the node name of the printer LTERMs; this displays the LTERMs associated with that specific node name.

Type A to add a printer/RCNT LTERM definition.

Type S or E next to an existing IMS ETO Support member name to change the printer/RCNT LTERM definition for that member.

Type D next to an existing IMS ETO Support member name to remove the printer/RCNT LTERM definition and the member from the list.

If you type A, S, or E, the LTERM Name Update panel is displayed:

To change the definitions for the selected member, enter the appropriate information in the following fields:
REPLACEMENT STRING
Specifies the replacement string for the destination LTERM name. This field is used for remapping the destination LTERM name when messages are sent to IMS.

The value must be 1 - 8 uppercase alphanumeric characters (0 - 9, A - Z) or national characters (@#$).

You can use the exclamation point (! - X'5A') as the mask character. If mask characters are used, the corresponding bytes in the original LTERM name will be used in the remapped LTERM name.

USER DFSINSX1
Specifies whether the Output User Creation user exit is to be used.
Y
Specifies that you are using your own version of this exit. In this case, subsequent fields on this panel are ignored.
N
Specifies that you are not using your own version of this exit. In this case, subsequent fields on the panel are used and control blocks are created when the LTERM is referenced.

Default DFSINSX1=N.

NODE NAME
Specifies the SLUTYPE1 node name.

The node name must be 1 - 8 uppercase alphanumeric characters.

Character 1 must be alphabetic or national (@#$).

LOGMODE
Specifies the VTAM® logon mode name.

The logon mode name must be 1 - 8 uppercase alphanumeric characters.

Character 1 must be alphabetic or national (@#$).

LOGON DESC
Specifies the logon descriptor.

The descriptor must be 1 - 8 uppercase alphanumeric characters.

Character 1 must be alphabetic or national (@#$).

ASOT
Specifies the auto signoff time.

If specified, the value must be either 0 or within the range of 10 - 1440.

SKIP AUTO-LOGON
Use this option to specify whether an auto logon is performed when a message is inserted for this LTERM.
Y
Auto logon is not performed when a message is inserted for this LTERM.
N
Auto logon is performed when a message is inserted for this LTERM.
Note: SKIP AUTO-LOGON should not be used for 3270 printer devices. IMS ETO Support cannot distinguish a 3270 printer from a 3270 terminal at logon time.
MSGDEL OPTIONS
Use this option to specify the messages that you want IMS to discard for the specified terminal. MSGDEL parameter values are described in the TERMINAL macro definition in IMS System Definition.
1 - SYSINFO
2 - NOTERM
3 - NONIOPCB
RCNT DATA: MSNAME
Use this field to define this field as an RCNT entry. MSNAME must contain the name of an IMS MSC MSNAME.
