IMS Macro and Operand Descriptions 

The IMS installation macro operands for the TYPE and TERMINAL macros
allowed for HP SNA products are described below.


NOTE  See the IMS installation manual for your system for a more thorough
      explanation of the macros and their values.


TYPE 

Defines the SNA LU type.  The TYPEmacro contains all TERMINAL and NAME
macros until another TYPE macro appears.

UNITTYPE=           Specifies the LU type for all TERMINAL macros defined
                    under this TYPE macro:

SLUTYPE1 Specifies LU type 1.  This
       | must be specified for
       | LU.T1 and LU.T3 printers.
       |
SLUTYPE2 Specifies LU type 2.  This
       | must be specified for
       | LU.T2 and LU.2X terminals.
       |

TERMINAL 

Defines the characteristics of a 3270 LU and the IMS operations that
apply.  A TERMINALmacro is specified for each 3270 LU. Unless otherwise
noted, each operand applies to both keyboard/displays and printers.

NAME=luname         Specifies a one-to-eight character name (luname),
                    which is the LU name specified for this LU in the
                    NCP/VTAM generation.  Do not specify LINE or ALL as
                    luname. 

MODEL=2             Specifies a display screen or print buffer size of
                    1920 characters.  For other screen or buffer sizes,
                    see the IMS installation guide for your system.

MSGDEL=NOTERM       Specifies that IMS/VS should discard DFS059 TERMINAL
                    status messages and DFS2002 TERMINAL CONNECTED status
                    messages for this terminal.

FEAT=(PFK,NOCD)     Specifies that program function keys (PFKs) are
                    available on this keyboard.

                    Default:  (PFK,CARD,PEN)

OUTBUF=bufsize      Specifies the size of the IMS output buffer to be
                    used to pass a Request Unit (RU) to VTAM. For a
                    keyboard/display, this buffer contains the 3270
                    commands and data for a single 3270 screen (or
                    portion to be updated).  This value can be used by
                    IMS to establish the BIND. If it is specified
                    incorrectly, it could cause rejection of the BIND by
                    the device.

                    Range:  256-32000

                    Recommended Value for LU.T1:  size of average print
                    session

                    Recommended Value for LU.T2 and LU.T3:  1536

                    Default:  2000 

OPTIONS=            Specifies whether IMS can initiate the screen print
                    ("local copy") feature.  This function is dependent
                    upon whether an LU type 1 printer has been configured
                    in NCP/VTAM and IMS: 

COPY   | The printer is configured.
       | Note that the printer must
       | be attached to the same
       | cluster controller as the
       | keyboard/display.
       |
NOCOPY | The printer is not
       | configured.
       |
       | Default:  COPY
       |
