Terminals

As well know IMS/DC terminal names are 8 characters long, while CICS terminal names are 4 character long.

In order to return the expected terminal name to the user application a relation between XCICS terminal name and XIMS terminal name must be provided.

To define an IMS terminal relationship the directive define ims_terminal is used.

Syntax

define ims_terminal name=<value>,
       cics=<value>
       [type=(standard|printer)];

name

This is the name of the IMS/DC terminal as returned to the application.

cics

This the name of the real XCICS terminal (EIBTRMID)

type

Terminal type may be standard (default) or printer.

Example

define ims_terminal name=K02N1V01, cics=TN01;
define ims_terminal name=K09N1P03, cics=PRT0, type=printer;

Maps

IMS/DC formats does not have to be specified, but the mapsets generated by the format conversion (see fmt2bms) must be defined using the XCICS TS directive define mapset.

To define these mapset please refer to the XCICS TS documentation.
