I need to clarify (correct) my earlier message. The sequential terminals we use for this capability on z/OS only use the printer half of the card reader/line printer definition. This printer-only method doesn't work on VSE (if anyone cares) because.....that's just the way they (IBM) did it on VSE.
Following is an example of the DFHTCTs we use to gen one for z/OS (we can use multiple TCT entries of this type): DFHTCT TYPE=SDSCI, * DDNAME=TCPTERMS, * DEVICE=1403, * DSCNAME=PRTC01 DFHTCT TYPE=LINE, * ACCMETH=SEQUENTIAL, * INAREAL=1, * TRMTYPE=U/R, * OSADSCN=PRTC01 DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL, * TRMIDNT=TC01, * TIOAL=1, * TRMSTAT=(RECEIVE) ...and use a DD like the following: //TCPTERMS DD DUMMY,DCB=(DSORG=PS,RECFM=U,BLKSIZE=133) Randy Evans, Viaserv, Inc. > > We have successfully defined sequential terminals for this purpose, in > CICS/TS 2.2.
