TPNS message generation and network control exit

Download


Abstract

ITPFIOX is a TPNS message generation and network control exit which allows
file I/O to be performed at the TPNS scripting level.

Download Description

Sequential files may be read from or written to using the exit. This support
may be useful when terminal simulation specific data is maintained in a
data set for access at run time or when run time specific information needs
to be written to a data set.

ITPFIOX has a flexible scripting interface which allows file sharing across
multiple simulated terminals.

Prerequisites

The ITPFIOX job requires TPNS V3R5 or V3R5 Service Level 9711.

Installation Instructions

The link for the ITPFIOX Job downloads the itpfiox.bin file. This file has the JCL to link the user exit into TPNS. After downloading, upload it to your MVS host system in binary to a fixed 80 byte length data set to ensure all EBCDIC characters are preserved. Modify the indicated parameters in the Job to match your TPNS installed system, then submit the job.
The ITPFIOX Information File contains instructions on how to use the exit.
