DFS211 INVALID REASSIGNMENT FOR NAMED LTERM

Explanation

An attempt was made to:
  • Assign the master terminal to an ineligible device
  • Make an improper assignment for VTAM® nodes that would split the logical terminal
  • Make an improper assignment for a node or user that was created to retain status data.
  • Assign the output to an input only device.
The master terminal cannot be assigned to any of the following:
  • A user
  • A switched line
  • An input-only terminal
  • An output-only terminal
  • An NTO terminal
  • An unattended SLUTYPE1 terminal
  • An LUTYPE6 node.
An assignment that splits the logical terminal for VTAM nodes is not allowed. The format of the command is:
  • /ASSIGN INPUT LTERM lterm1 TO NODE node1
  • /ASSIGN OUTPUT LTERM lterm1 TO NODE node1
  • /ASSIGN LTERM lterm1 TO LTERM lterm2 (where lterm1 or lterm2 is associated with a VTAM node).

Nodes or users that were only created to retain status data and have not been logged on or signed on are not allowed in an /ASSIGN command. For example, a /TRACE SET ON NODE command that creates a node with a status of trace, in anticipation of the terminal logging on, is not allowed as a node parameter in the /ASSIGN command.

System action

The command is ignored.

Operator response

(master terminal) Enter a valid form of the /ASSIGN command.
