Special operational notes and restrictions

TTY devices and devices acting as TTY devices use blank lines in the form of carriage returns and linefeeds both before and after a message to set off the message for easier identification.

For TTY devices, IMS system messages cause a carriage return (CR) and linefeed (LF) before and after the message. Other output does not cause this to happen.

For 3101 devices acting as TTY devices, IMS sends a carriage return (CR) as X'0D'. This has the same effect on the 3101 screen for IMS system messages as the carriage return (CR) and linefeed (LF) do for the TTY.

There are no component attachments to an NTO device. You must define each component as a unique NTO device to VTAM®, the NTO Program Product, the NCP, and IMS.

An NTO device cannot be used as an IMS master terminal.
