ALTER Command
The following AM3270 command adds an SU named $AM3270.#TERM and uses the
INFO command to verify that the changes were implemented:
ADD SU $AM3270.#TERM, ADDRESS (0,1), PROTOCOL ITI, &
TYPE (6,6), RECSIZE 80
INFO SU $AM3270.#TERM, DETAIL
The following series of commands adds an SU with the PTP protocol, alters the
RECSIZE of the SU, then lets you verify that your change was made:
ADD SU $AM3270.#TERM, ADDRESS (0,1), PROTOCOL PTP, &
TYPE (60,1), RECSIZE 80
ALTER SU $AM3270.#TERM, RECSIZE 60
INFO SU $AM3270.#TERM, DETAIL
ALTER Command
The ALTER command changes the values of the attributes of an existing object. This
command changes only the specified attributes of the target object or objects. This is a
sensitive command.
Considerations for the ALTER Command
•
The SEL and LIKE options are not supported.
•
Wild cards are not supported at the subdevice level.
•
There are no summary state changes associated with the ALTER command.
•
For most line and subdevice attributes, the ALTER command can be used only
when the LINE or SU object is in the STOPPED summary state. An exception is
the line attribute DEBUG, which can be altered when the LINE object is in the
STARTED summary state. NOTE: The DEBUG attribute is provided for HP use
only; customers should always leave DEBUG OFF.
•
After you alter a line with the ALTER command, use the INFO command to verify
the attributes, then restart the line with the START command.
•
Some attributes are dependent on other attributes. When one attribute is altered,
its related attribute must also be altered. For example, when XLATEIN or
XLATEOUT is used, TRANSLATE must be ON.
For a LINE object, if CHARSET is EBCDIC, then CONTROLSET must be EBCDIC
and TRANSLATE must be ON. If CHARSET is ASCII, then CONTROLSET must
be ASCII and TRANSLATE must be OFF. All will be modified by the subsystem if
only one is modified
For an SU object, the line attribute TRANSPARENT must be ON and CHARSET
must be EBCDIC before the SU object attribute TRANSPARENT can be altered to
ON.
