Multithreading facilities
In addition to the asynchronous handling of input and
output requests, VTAM® also
provides the following facilities as aids to handling sessions in
a multithread program:
- A special field that is used to associate a unique storage area with each session
- The ability to schedule the sending of a request
- The ability to receive input from any session except those sessions that are specifically precluded.
These facilities are discussed in more detail in the following sections.
