Identifies the machine features for a channel-attached non-SNA terminal.

FEATUR2=DUALCSE

FEATUR2=LOWERCSE

Specifies how to send alphabetical characters coded with the TEXT operand on a USSMSG macroinstruction to a non-SNA terminal over the SSCP-LU session. This value does not affect non-alphabetical characters or any characters coded on the BUFFER operand of a USSMSG macroinstruction.

Code LOWERCSE to indicate that alphabetical characters are sent to the terminal over the SSCP-LU session in lowercase. Code DUALCSE to indicate that VTAM® sends all characters as they are coded in the USSMSG macroinstruction.

FEATUR2=EDATS

FEATUR2=NOEDATS

Specifies whether this terminal has the extended data stream feature.

If you code EDATS, you must specify a logon mode entry that has a PSERVIC operand that indicates extended data streaming and that also contains other required device-specific and application-specific bit combinations. Refer to the device's component description manual and the application's programming manual for information on the specific bit setting to code.

FEATUR2=MODEL1

FEATUR2=MODEL2

Identifies the specific model number (Model 1 or 2) for this 3277, 3284, or 3286 terminal. Code MODEL1 for those devices that have a default screen or buffer size of 480 bytes. Code MODEL2 for those devices that have a default screen or buffer size of 1920 bytes.

These FEATUR2 values are available to an application program as part of the device characteristics pertaining to this channel-attached terminal. You can obtain these characteristics using the INQUIRE macroinstruction. For more information on the INQUIRE macroinstruction, see z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming.

FEATUR2=NOPRINTR

FEATUR2=PRINTR

Specifies whether the local device is a printer.

If you do not define a local non-SNA printer as a printer, raising the cover on the printer could end the session between the printer and the application. By defining it as a printer, you specify to VTAM that an asynchronous device-end from this device (caused by lifting the cover) is not to end the session.

See also the description of the VTAM start option ASYDE under ASYDE start option.

FEATUR2=NOSELPEN

FEATUR2=SELPEN

Specifies whether this terminal supports the use of a selector pen.
