Turning Timed Screen Facility on and off

The TSF On option (B) on the Background path activates TSF (fastpath P.E.B), and the TSF Off option (C) on the Background path deactivates it (fastpath P.E.C). You can specify the screens to be invoked and at what time of day with the TSF Entries option (A) on the Background path (fastpath P.E).

Note: TSF functions only in Auto Update mode (VTAM® or dedicated). To activate Auto Update, select the Auto Update On option (F) on the Profile menu (fastpath P.F).

To set timed screen facility entries, select the Background option (E) on the Profile Menu or enter fast path P.E from any panel. Follow the instructions given in the TSF Entries panel on the Background path.

You must change or add one TSF entry at a time. Enter the entry number after the .TSF statement (.TSFnn) and then type over the values displayed. Then enter another entry number and type over its values. Then enter the next entry number and so on.

To add a new entry, use an unused entry which is identified by TIME=0000.
