Creating user descriptors during system definition

User descriptors are generated from each VTAM® TERMINAL or VTAMPOOL SUBPOOL macro.

User descriptors that are created during system definition by using the VTAM TERMINAL macro have the same name as the terminal. User descriptors that are created by using the VTAMPOOL SUBPOOL macro have the same name as the subpool.

For user descriptors that are created by using a SUBPOOL macro, you cannot set a response option (TRANSRESP, NORESP, FORCRESP), because it is defined on the TERMINAL macro for static definitions. You need to add the response option (appropriate for your installation) to any user descriptor that is created with a SUBPOOL macro.
