IST051A
ENTER VTAM START PARAMETERS

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when the PROMPT start option was coded in the default start list, ATCSTR00. VTAM is prompting the operator to enter start options to override the default start options already stored or to provide additional options.

System action

VTAM waits for the reply and then processes the options entered.

Operator response

Take one of the following actions:
  • Enter the start options recommended by the system programmer or contained in your operator instructions. (If you cannot fit all the required start options on one line, put a comma after the last option on the line. This causes message IST1311A to be issued, allowing you to specify more start options.)
  • Enter a blank to cause VTAM to use the start options from the default start list.
Note: If you enter a LIST start option, ensure that you enter it correctly. VTAM will not give you an opportunity to correct a spelling error. You cannot enter the LIST start option in response to message IST1311A. See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Resource Definition Reference for more information on VTAM start options.

System programmer response

None.
