HP-UX TN3270 Administration Guide

Configuring TN3270
Understanding the Configuration Text File Records
Chapter 334
A name that identifies the individual record. The value
assigned must not match the name of any other record
of the same type. The following characters are valid:
A–Z, 0–9, @, #, and $. (The characters a–z are also
accepted but are converted to uppercase.)
The value chosen is for the System Administrator's use
only; it has no relevance outside of the TN3270 system.
Choose a name that identifies the resource.
text
Text string of any printable characters. The string is
case sensitive and is not converted to uppercase.
file
HP-UX file name, which can be the file name only or
can include a full path (do not use a relative path).
Ensure that the file name and path are valid; TN3270
does not check for validity of path and file name.
number
A numeric value interpreted as one of the following:
• Decimal by default
• Hexadecimal if the value begins with “0x”
• Octal if the value contains a leading 0 (zero)
character
flag
No value is assigned to a flag field. The inclusion of a
flag field in a record implies that the option described
by the flag is allowed. If the flag field is not included in
a record, the corresponding option is not allowed.
choice
A choice among a group of values. The valid values are
specified in the notes for the field.
The sections that follow describe the specific record formats for host,
user, and diagnostics records. A table shows the following field
attributes for each record type:
• Which field type is expected for the field name.
