Parameters

IP(ip_var_name)
The name of the dialog variable containing the workstation's TCP/IP address or host name. The value can be a maximum of 64 characters. If the TCP/IP address is set to an asterisk (*), the value of the system variable ZIPADDR is used. ZIPADDR contains the TCP/IP address of the currently connected TN3270 workstation.
LU(lu_var_name)
The name of the dialog variable containing the workstation's APPC address or host name. The value can be a maximum of 64 characters.
FI
This parameter specifies that you want ISPF to search the file allocated to ISPDTPRF DD for your network address.
TITLE(title_var_name)
The name of the dialog variable containing the title for the ISPF GUI panels if ZWINTTL or ZAPPTTL in not defined by the dialog. The value can be a maximum of 64 characters.
FRAME(STD | FIX | DLG)
This parameter specifies that the first window frame displayed in GUI mode be standard (STD), fixed (FIX), or dialog (DLG). If this parameter is not specified, the value from the user's system profile is used. If no value is saved in the system profile, STD is the default.
BKGRND(STD | DLG)
This parameter specifies that the first window displayed in GUI mode have standard (STD) or dialog (DLG) background color. The colors are defined by the workstation. If this parameter is not specified, the value from the user's system profile is used. If no value is saved in the system profile, DLG is the default.
CODEPAGE(codepage)
This numeric value is used as the host code page in translating data from the host to the workstation, regardless of the values returned from the terminal query.

If CODEPAGE is specified, CHARSET must also be specified. If these values are not specified on the WSCON service, then values previously specified on the Initiate Workstation Connection panel and saved in the user's system profile are used. If there are no code page and character set values saved in the system profile, then values from the terminal query are used. If your terminal or emulator does not support code pages, the CODEPAGE and CHARSET parameter values on ISPSTART are used. If ISPSTART does not have the parameters specified, English is the default.

CHARSET(character_set)
This numeric value is used as the host character set in translating data from the host to the workstation, regardless of the values returned from the terminal query.

If CHARSET is specified, CODEPAGE must also be specified. If these values are not specified on the WSCON service, then values previously specified on the Initiate Workstation Connection panel and saved in the user's system profile are used. If there are no code page and character set values saved in the system profile, then values from the terminal query are used. If your terminal or emulator does not support code pages, the CODEPAGE and CHARSET parameter values on ISPSTART are used. If ISPSTART does not have the parameters specified, English is the default.

NOGUIDSP
This parameter specifies that you want to make a connection to the workstation, but do not want ISPF to display in GUI mode. If this parameter is not specified, ISPF displays in GUI mode.
PANEL(YES | NO | ONERROR)
This parameter specifies whether you want the Initiate Workstation Connection panel to be displayed.

If YES is specified, the Initiate Workstation Connection panel fields are initialized with the values of IP, LU, and TITLE that you have specified, even if the specified dialog variable value is blank.

If NO is specified, appropriate return codes are issued if there are errors with the specified parameters. Parameter values are not saved in the user's system profile. NO is the default.

ONERROR specifies that the panel is to be displayed only if there is an error with the specified parameters. Any parameter that is not valid causes the panel to display with the non-valid values in the appropriate fields.

buf-len
This specifies a fullword fixed binary integer containing the length of "buffer".
buffer
This specifies a buffer containing the name of the service and its parameters in the same form as they would appear in an ISPEXEC call for a command procedure.
