.-ASYDE--=--TERM-----. >>-+--------------------+-------------------------------------->< '-ASYDE--=--+-KEEP-+-' '-TERM-'
Specifies whether to keep or terminate the session between the device and its application when VTAM® receives an asynchronous device end from a local non-SNA device. For example, an asynchronous device end is caused when the device is powered off, or, for a printer, when the cover is lifted.
This option applies to all locally attached non-SNA devices
except printers. See also FEATUR2 for
a description of FEATUR2=PRINTR or NOPRINTR for a LOCAL device.
- ASYDE=KEEP
- Specifies that the session is to remain up. VTAM generates an exception request for the application, and the application determines whether to end the session.
- ASYDE=TERM
- Specifies that VTAM unconditionally terminates the session.
