Configuring a Telserv Process
$telserv-name.service-name
specifies the name of the service you want to add. You must assign a unique name to
each service that uses the same Telserv process. The name may be up to eight
alphanumeric characters in length. The first character must be a letter. The name
EXIT and names starting with the letter Z are reserved for Compaq internal use.
TYPE { CONVERSATION | BLOCK }
specifies the class of service. This parameter is required.
CONVERSATION
configures a conversational terminal service and initiates the session in
conversation mode.
BLOCK
configures a block mode service and initiates the session in block mode. When
this attribute is used, the program can change the mode using the file-system
SETMODE procedure.
SUBTYPE DYNAMIC
specifies that a dynamic service will be created. This parameter is required.
PROGRAM program-name
contains the local file name of the initial application to be launched when the session
is started. This parameter is required.
The following command adds a dynamic service named PAYROLL to the Telserv
process named $ZTN1:
1> ADD SERVICE $ZTN1.PAYROLL, TYPE BLOCK, SUBTYPE DYNAMIC, &
1> &PROGRAM $USER.PWY.PAYTCP
You can use the SCF INFO SERVICE command to verify that the service has been
configured correctly. Example 8-4 shows an SCF INFO SERVICE command display for
a Telserv process named $ZTN1.
Note. Asynchronous terminal users can switch back and forth between block mode
and conversation mode even though the CONVERSATION attribute is configured.
