Providing signon data for ISC, SLU-P, Finance, and output-only devices

For dynamic ISC, SLU-P, Finance, and output-only devices, you must provide user signon data at session initiation.

IMS validates the signon data and allocates LTERMs to the terminals, based on:
  • User descriptors in IMS.PROCLIB
  • Applicable LTERM and user option defaults
  • Signon exit routine (DFSSGNX0) output
Restriction: A user cannot enter signon data from an output-only device during logon or when using the /SIGN command. For a dynamic output-only terminal, users must enter signon data at session initiation.

If a user forgets to include signon data during session initiation for an output-only device, IMS issues message DFS2085I (with return code 264) to the MTO. If signon data is omitted for dynamic ISC, SLU-P, or Finance terminals, IMS issues messages DFS3645I and DFS3672I.
