name

Specifies optional names for the INTAB, LOGCHAR, and ENDINTAB macroinstructions. If specified, name must be unique and should be used as the operand for the assembler language END statement.

When the INTAB, LOGCHAR, and ENDINTAB macroinstructions are assembled, this name is used to identify the entry point to the interpret table CSECT. You can also use this name as a member name for this interpret table when you use the linkage editor to put the interpret table into the appropriate library. This assignment prevents different names from being used for the same interpret table (one for the entry point to the interpret table CSECT, and another as the name on the LOGTAB operand that other NCP and VTAM® definition statements use to refer to this interpret table).

The interpret table is used by terminals that are defined by NCP and VTAM definition statements. The name assigned to the interpret table in the VTAM definition library must therefore be coded in the LOGTAB operand of those statements.
