Store
the set of macroinstructions as a member of SYS1.VTAMLST. Use the
member name as the name of the table.
No assembly or link-edit is required to install this table.
The table is dynamically built when:
- VTAM® is initialized, if
the FLDTAB start option has been specified
- An operator issues a MODIFY TABLE command specifying the table
name
The MODIFY TABLE command lets you replace or modify the
message-flooding prevention table without affecting VTAM operations. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for more information about this command.
To change the IBM-supplied message-flooding prevention
table:
- Copy the IBM-supplied table (ISTMSFLD).
- Rename the copy.
- Modify the copy.
VTAM uses the internal
version of the IBM-supplied message-flooding prevention table if either
of the following conditions is true:
- No table has been specified (FLDTAB start option not specified)
- The specified table (on the FLDTAB start option) has failed
You can display the name of the message-flooding prevention
table by specifying ISTNOP, the name of the application program that
represents the network operator, on the DISPLAY ID command. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation.
