The meanings of some parameters of the OPEN3270 and ACQUIRE3270 intrinsics vary depending on the IMF product you use.

IMF/3000

The syntax of the IMF/3000 ACQUIRE3270 and OPEN3270 intrinsics is as follows:

ACQUIRE3270       (confile, devicenum, ldev, enhance, priority,
                  blanks, format, flags, result)
OPEN3270          (devicenum, confile, flags, terminalid, devtype,
                  ffindex, screensize, timeout, result)

The devicenum parameter specifies a specific device number on the IBM 3271 Cluster Controller that IMF/3000 emulates. This device number, which must be an integer from 0 through 31, must correspond to an equivalent specification in the IMF/3000 configuration file (confile).

The confile parameter indicates the name of the configuration file IMF/3000 uses.

SNA IMF

The syntax of the SNA IMF ACQUIRE3270 and OPEN3270 intrinsics is as follows:

ACQUIRE3270       (snalnkinfo, devicenum, ldev, enhance, priority,
                  blanks, format, flags, result)
OPEN3270          (devicenum, snalnkinfo, flags, terminalid, devtype,
                  ffindex, screensize, timeout, result)

The SNA IMF snalnkinfo parameter replaces the IMF/3000 confile parameter. SNA IMF does not have an IMF configuration file; instead, SNA IMF references an LU class and an SNA node name. You must configure both the LU class and the node name in the Node Management configuration file that was specified in the SNACONTROL START command used to bring up SNA IMF.

The SNA IMF devicenum parameter specifies a device type: -2 for LU.T2 terminal emulation, -1 for LU.T1 printer emulation, or -3 for LU.T3 printer emulation. The LU class (specified in the snalnkinfo parameter) is a group of available LUs that may be used to emulate a device. For example, you can configure an LU class for IBM 3278 display stations and an LU class for IBM 3287 printers.
