SNAEXT statement

Use the SNAEXT parameter statement to enable negotiation for contention resolution and SNA sense functions for TN3270E connections. If NOSNAEXT is specified, Telnet does not negotiate these SNA functional extensions.

Telnet is initialized with a value of SNAEXT.

The SNAEXT and NOSNAEXT statements can be coded in TELNETGLOBALS, TELNETPARMS, or PARMSGROUP statement block. See Rules for Telnet parameter statements and security parameters for more information about the hierarchy of parameter values.

The NOSNAEXT statement is useful in the unlikely case there are a significant number of clients that cannot tolerate the negotiation of these functions. Most clients do not have a problem with the SNAEXT specification in Telnet, but, in the unlikely case that some do, specify and map NOSNAEXT to that set of clients.
