Enables a character string to be added to any session output screens.
This common session parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement), and APPL (see APPL statement).
ADDSID text|variable-name AT row col
[COND text AT row col]
[MODEL model-number]
The character string may be a IBM Session Manager variable, or it may be literal text. In each case, the string may contain a maximum of 80 characters.
Specifies the row and column where the character string is to be placed on the screen display. When used with COND (see below) it specifies the place on the screen display where the COND string is to be found. The 3270 order SBA will generally be placed immediately before the string on the same row. However, if Col 1 is specified, the SBA occupies Col 1 and the text starts in column 2. The values of the row and col variables must be explicitly specified; there is no default.
An optional test may be made for the presence of a second string (which is the output from the application) using this subparameter, which may contain up to 256 characters.
This option subparameter specifies the terminal model type (for example, a model 5 terminal) the screen must be in for this definition to take effect.
As many ADDSID parameters as required may be specified for a session. If a definition exists without the optional COND and MODEL specified, it will be used if none of the conditional definitions are satisfied. If multiple conditional definitions can be satisfied, the last one tested for is used. The specification is ignored if PCTRANSFER is set to ON.
