HP-UX TN3270 Administration Guide

Configuring TN3270
Understanding the Configuration Text File Records
Chapter 340
name
Specify the name of the TN3270 user. Use 1–20 of any
printable, case-sensitive characters. This value must
match the HP-UX login ID of a user on the TN3270
computer.
You can also set up a default TN3270 user record, using
the name <DEFAULT> (in uppercase letters and
surrounded by angle brackets, as shown). The
<DEFAULT> record allows any HP-UX user to use
TN3270 emulation. If the user's HP-UX login ID does
not match the name field in any user record, TN3270
uses the <DEFAULT> configuration record when the user
starts TN3270 emulation.
host
Specify the name of the host record that describes the
session to be used. Use 1–8 characters from the
following set: A–Z, a–z, 0–9, @, # and $ (characters a–z
are converted to uppercase). This name must match
the name of a host record in this configuration file.
Specify a separate host field for each session that the
user can access (maximum of 10 sessions).
If you do not configure at least one host field, the user
will not be able to use the TN3270 emulation program.
style_file
Specify the name of the default TN3270 style file for
this user. Use 1–8 of any printable, case-sensitive
characters. This style file is used if the TN3270 user
does not specify a style file when starting the TN3270
emulation program.
If no file name is specified, the TN3270 emulation
program uses its own default settings.
Do not include an extension for the file name specified
for this field because TN3270 adds the extension
automatically. For example, if you enter the name
newsty, TN3270 uses the file newsty.stu.
TN3270 searches for this file in the directory
/etc/opt/tn3270. However, if you give the user
