CUADDR

>>-CUADDR--=--device_address-----------------------------------><

Defines the 3-digit or 4-digit hexadecimal device number used for this channel-attached terminal. The address must not be enclosed in quotation marks or apostrophes. For example, a channel device address of X'080' is coded as CUADDR=080.

Restriction: In addition to the resource definition with the name taken from the LOCAL statement's name field, VTAM® creates an internal resource definition representing this local non-SNA terminal device when it is activated. This internal direct attachment node (DAN) definition uses the device address specified on the CUADDR operand as its name. No other definition in the same VTAM domain can use the value specified by the device_address value as its name, or activation failure will occur.

For the same reason, a local non-SNA terminal should not be defined to and activated by VTAM if its device number is defined as an MVS™ console and allocated to console services. Activating a local non-SNA terminal whose device number is in use by console services can cause VTAM, console services, or both to abend.
