TERMLOGMODE

Description

Specifies the logmode table entry name, and the ACB range to be used when a user logs on to this application.

This parameter is applicable to the APPL control statement (see APPL statement).

Format

TERMLogmode logmode-entryname|* ACBRange rangename

Subparameters and usage

logmode-entryname|*

Defines the logmode table entry from which the characteristics are to be used when allocating this ACB range for this application. The names which can be used are the same as those defined for the LOGMnnx parameter of the SYSTEM statement. This gives the user the ability to force IBM Session Manager to use specific attributes for terminals logging onto this application, irrespective of the bind image received when the user originally logged on.

Alternatively, an asterisk ('*') may be specified, in which case the entry name is that implied by the bind image received from VTAM at login time.

ACBRange rangename

Defines the rangename from which an ACB is to be selected when a user logs on to the application defined by this APPL statement. The RANGE statement is used to generate ranges of ACBs.

Note: Several pairs of TERMLOGMODE and ACBRANGE combinations may appear for one application name. This enables the user to control the range (and therefore the session characteristics) from which ACBs are selected. When all the ACBs from the 'first choice' range have been allocated, IBM Session Manager selects the 'best fit' ACB from another range. This technique is described in the section 'Best fit ACB allocation for RANGE statements' in the chapter 'Setting up applications' of the Installation and Customization manual.

The TERMLOGMODE parameter is mutually exclusive with the ACB parameter.
