RSCS Generation Considerations
This section describes the configuration requirements for an RSCS host
system.
LINK Statement
In the LINK statement of the configuration file, you must specify the
type as DMTNPT for RSCS version 1 or RJE for RSCS version 2. The LINK
statement defines the name and default attributes of the specified link.
Link attributes will apply to the link when it is activated, unless
overridden by DEFINE or START command parameters.
Include as many statements as needed; they are optional. LINK statements
may be positioned anywhere in the configuration file after the LOCAL,
OPFORM, and CHANNELS statements (if these statements exist). They must
precede any AUTH, PARM, or ROUTE statements that refer to their specified
link.
With the exception of linkid, an operand may be replaced by an asterisk
(*) or omitted to signify that the default may be taken. Because the
operands are positional, an asterisk must be used in place of an operand
if any other following operands, or a comment, are specified. Other
parameters are available, but are not described here because only the
parameters that apply to RJE/XL are listed.
LINK linkid [type]
linkid Is a one to eight character name that identifies this
link. The name must be the same as the local node
identifier (local node ID) of the node at the other end
of the link. This means that it must be different from
all other link IDs defined to RSCS (by means of LINK
statements or the DEFINE command) on the local system.
To avoid confusion, it is a good idea for a link ID to
be unique from everything else within the network. If
you create link IDs, node IDs, user IDs, and so forth
with the same name, you may send something across the
network and discover that it did not arrive at the
destination that you intended. The name cannot be "*".
type Is one of the following symbolic names (corresponding to
the type of protocol RSCS will use for communicating
with this link):
ASCII Connections to an ASCII printer or
plotter using an ASCII control unit.
LISTPROC List processor.
MRJE BSC connection to a remote
multi-leaving workstation or host
system.
NJE BSC, CTCA, or 3088 connection to a peer
NJE system.
RJE BSC connection to a remote workstation.
Start the Link
Start the link and select for no special forms or form messages:
START linkid TYPE RJE FOrm name MAnual
This specifies the RJE BSC connection to a BSC workstation.
START START activates a specified inactive link or resets a
pending deactivation due to a DRAIN command. It can
also be used to cause an active link to begin processing
files of a specified set of classes or forms. If an IBM
3270 information display system printer is so equipped,
the PA2 key may be used in place of a START command.

[{ OParm operation parameters...}]
[{ PARM [operation parameters...] }]
Any combination of operands with associated values maybe
entered in any order, except that OParm or PARM must be
the rightmost operand, if entered.
linkid This is the one to eight character link identifier for
the inactive link to be activated, or for the active
link on which file processing is to be altered. If
START is issued by the RSCS console operator or by an
authorized alternate operator, this operand must be
specified; if issued from a remote workstation, it must
be omitted.
FOrm name This specifies the operator form name of files that may
be processed after execution of the command. The name
can be one to eight characters in length. Specifying an
asterisk (*) for the name allows processing of any file
regardless of form.
MAnual This specifies that only files with the current form
name are to be processed. If the form name is *, files
with any form are processed.
TYPE RJE This specifies the symbolic name which describes the
type of telecommunications protocol to be used to
communicate with the remote workstation or system.
Signon Card
The SIGNON card designates the type of workstation, its features, and
other information.
SIGNON linkid type [Bnnn][CMPR][TRSx[PCHx]
SIGNON Starting in card column 1 is required.
linkid This is a one to eight character link ID from a previous
LINK statement to which the following parameters apply.
If this does not match the link ID of the START command,
the SIGNON card is not accepted. The link ID
specification must appear within card columns 8 through
20; otherwise, a 904E error message will be produced.
type This indicates the workstation type (2780 or 3780).
Bnnn This specifies the line buffer size in terms of the
number of bytes (nnn) depending on the workstation type:
Workstation Acceptable Values Default
----------- ----------------- -------
2780 400 170
3780 512 512
CMPR This specifies that the blank compression feature is
present on the IBM 3780.
TRSx Specify TRSY. Translates characters less than X'40' and
greater than X'FE' to blanks.
PCHx Specify PCHY.
