statements: | GROUP, LINE, PU, LU, CLUSTER, TERMINAL |
dependencies: | VTAM® only; dependent LUs only |
Specifies the name of a USS table that VTAM uses to process character-coded input that it receives from the logical unit. USSTAB is valid for dependent logical units only.
A terminal user can issue a USS command with the LANGTAB operand. This causes a second USS table to be associated with the logical unit, which overrides the table specified with USSTAB. If you do not code USSTAB and a LANGTAB USS table is not in use, the IBM-supplied USS table (ISTINCDT) is used. For more information on USS tables, see Unformatted system services tables.
If you code USSTAB on a CLUSTER or TERMINAL definition statement, you must also code PU=YES on the GROUP or LINE definition statement.
