ATTACH FM header format

The format of the ATTACH FM header is defined in the following table.

Table 1. Attach FM header format
Byte Bits Name Content
0   FMHL  
1   0 FMHC  
1-7 FMHT B'0000101'
2-3   FMH5CMD X'0202'
4 0-3 FMH5MOD  
4   Reserved
5   ATTDP Session Local Flag
B'0'
Not demand-paging
B'1'
Demand-paging
6-7 ATTIU Interchange Unit code
B'00'
Multiple chain
B'01'
Single chain
B'10'
Reserved
B'11'
Reserved
5   FMH5FXCT Length of fixed-length parameters must be X'02'
6   ATTDSP One-byte hexadecimal input value into a data stream profile. (IMS requires a value from X'00' to X'03' to select components 1-4 respectively. Value X'00', or component 1, is assumed if no ATTACH FM header is received while the Attach manager is in reset state.)
7   ATTDBA Application data handling algorithm
X'00'
Undefined (Input only to IMS. IMS also assumes this as the default value if no ATTACH FM header is received while the attach manager is in reset state.)
X'01'
Variable length, variable blocked (input/output for IMS)
X'02'
Document subset of SCS (not supported by IMS)
X'03'
Card subset of SCS (not supported by IMS)
X'04'
A chain of RUs (input to/output from IMS)
X'05'
An RU (input only to IMS)
X'06' to X'FF'
Reserved
8-m   ATTDPN1 Name of a process to be initiated. For an SNA-defined process, the DPN is a 1-byte, nongraphic hexadecimal character. Supported SNA processes are:
X'01'
SYSMSG
X'02'
SCHEDULER
X'03'
QMODEL
The IMS processes are described under the ATTDPN parameter.
m+1-n   ATTPRN1 Name of primary resource for the process being initiated
n+1-p   ATTRDPN1 Name of suggested return process name
p+1-q   ATTRPRN1 Name of suggested primary resource for the return process
q+1-r   ATTDQN1 Name of queue to be associated with the attached process
r+1-s   ATTACC Access code—Ignored by IMS.
Notes:
  1. If the ATTDPN is set to SCHEDULER (X'02'), the remaining ATTACH parameters must not be specified. In this case, an equivalent for each of the asterisked parameters might occur in the concatenated SCHEDULER FM header. These SCHEDULER parameters are prefixed by SCD rather than by ATT, but follow the same definition and rules as those for ATTACH.
