MSC descriptors
MSC descriptors relate remote NAME macros to MSC links defined during system definition.
When you use ETOFEAT to specify that descriptors are to be created during system definition, an MSC descriptor is created for each MSNAME macro statement.
MSC descriptor format
The format of an MSC
descriptor is
M Link name name1 name2 namenAn MSC descriptor contains a link name rather than a descriptor name. The link name is the name of the retrieved descriptor. The name parameters represent any valid remote LTERM name that can be accessed through a link name. The parameters that are required for a link name cannot fit into one record. You might need to use multiple records with the same link name to define your descriptor.
MSC descriptor parameters
The parameters that are supported for MSC descriptors are as follows:
- descriptor type
- Specifies that the descriptor is MSC (M).
- descriptor name
- Specifies the link name from the MSNAME macro.
- remote LTERM name
- Specifies the name of a logical terminal associated with a physical terminal defined in a remote IMS system.
