| macroinstructions: | MDLENT, MDLPLU |
Specifies the 1–8 character model name expected by the subsystem for the terminal.
The model name is passed only when VTAM® initiates the session with the application program, for example, when the SLU has the LOGAPPL = parameter coded in its definition. When the SLU initiates the session with the application program by means of the LOGON command or a USS command, the model name to be passed to the application program must be explicitly specified on the MODEL = parameter of the LOGON command or USS command.
If you code MODEL on the MDLENT macroinstruction, the model_name specified is a default to be used with any PLU that is not specified in a following MDLPLU macroinstruction.
If you omit MODEL on the MDLENT macroinstruction, no default data is created. Consequently, any PLU not specified in one of the MDLPLU macroinstructions within this entry will not receive any model name data unless the MODEL operand is overridden during logon.
If you omit MODEL on the MDLPLU macroinstruction, no model_name is sent to the application or to the subsystem during session initiation.
