PK72562: PROVIDE ENHANCEMENTS TO IZTGEN CONVERSION PROCESS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• - IZTGEN converson process now read IMS LOGON DESCRIPTORS
  directly instead of having the user code $IZTDESC macros to
    describe the LOGN DESCRIPTORS used by IMS.
  - Change the return code from 4 TO 8 when a terminal that is not
    excluded from conversion does not have an applicable
    LOGON DESCRIPTOR and therefore cannot be converted. The IZTGEN
    process now also shows the LOGON DESCRIPTOR parameters
    required to allow IZTGEN conversion to define the terminal
    as an ETO device.
  - Support a new parameter on the $IZTTYPE MACRO. The ASOT=
    parameter can be coded for UNITYPE=3270 AND UNITYPE=SLUTYPE1
    printer device types. If this parameter is included, when a
    ZP ETO SUPPORT statement is created for this type (3284, 3286,
    or SLU1 with COMPT1=PRINTER), the ZP statement will include
    ASOT=, allowing the customer to define the SIGNOFF time for
    a printer.
