Terminal control table
Whether you define your terminals directly in the Terminal Control Table (TCT) or by autoinstall, there is a resulting TCT. With autoinstall, TCT entries exist only while terminals are active.
To display TCT entry attributes, select the TCT option (V) on the CICS® path or enter fast path C.V from any panel.

To select terminals with a specific attribute, place the cursor on the line describing the attribute and press PF11. To select a specific terminal, you can enter ID=termid after TCT as in the following example:
TABL TCT,ID=L624 For a terminal entry in dump format, enter DUMP after termid:
TABL TCT,ID=termid DUMP To select terminals with several attributes, enter SEL= followed by a list of attributes:
TABL TCT,SEL=(attr1,attr2,.....attrn) You can use the asterisk wildcard character (*) in termid.
For example:
- ID=DFH*
- Specifies terminals beginning with DFH.
- ID=*YZ
- Specifies terminals ending with YZ.
- ID=A*B*
- Specifies terminals beginning with A and having a B anywhere but at the end of the name.
If you zoom on the All Table Entries field, a TCT Summary panel is displayed in the following figure:

For terminals in the selected TCT category, this panel shows the following fields:
- Term ID
- Terminal ID for this entry.
- Term Type
- Type of terminal, such as: console, 3270, or LU2.
- Term Status
- Status of this terminal, such as: in service, out of service, released, or acquired.
- Initiate® Status
- Method of initiation, such as TTI (Terminal Transaction Initiation) and ATI (Automatic Transaction Initiation).
- Paging Status
- Status of paging, such as Auto or Page.
- VTAM® Netname
- Name VTAM uses for this terminal.
- Active Tran ID
- Transaction identifier currently running on this terminal.
To display detailed information on a particular terminal, place your cursor on that line and press PF11. The TCT entry varies depending on whether it is a 3270, BDAM, console, or remote terminal, or it is a system connection or link.
The TCT entry for a 3270 screen is shown in the following figure:
