Creating and reusing LTERM control blocks

A user structure containing an LTERM can be created in a number of different ways.

A user structure containing an LTERM is created:
  • When the user signs on, and the user structure does not currently exist
  • When an asynchronous message is created for an LTERM, and the LTERM does not currently exist
  • When you use the /ASSIGN command to assign an LTERM to a non-existent user.
  • The /ASSIGN command is used to assign a non-existent LTERM to a user.
  • The /CHANGE USER user AUTOLOGON command is directed to a non-existent user.

The user structure is allocated to a terminal after successful signon.
