Configuring a Telserv Process
$telserv-name.#window-name
specifies the name of the Telserv process and the window you want to add. You
must assign a unique name to each window using the same Telserv process. The
name must start with a pound sign (#) and may be followed by up to seven
alphanumeric characters. The first character following the pound sign must be a
letter. It is recommended that you use the letters WIN followed by a terminal
number to identify a window. For example: #WIN05.
SERVICENAME "service-name"
is the name of the static service with which you want the window to be associated.
This parameter is required.
SERVICETYPE { BLOCK | CONVERSATION }
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.
After you have added a window, you must start it using the SCF START WINDOW
command. The command syntax is as follows:
$telserv-name.#window-name
specifies the name of the Telserv process and the window you want to start. For
example: $ZTN1.#WIN1.
The following commands configure and start a window named #WIN1 that is associated
with a static service named PAYROLL2 for the Telserv process named $ZTN1:
1> ADD WINDOW $ZTN1.#WIN1, SERVICENAME "PAYROLL2", &
1> &SERVICETYPE BLOCK
2> START WINDOW $ZTN1.#WIN1
Note. The Telserv process uses the letters PTY when it dynamically creates windows. To
avoid conflicts, you should not use the letters PTY followed by a terminal number to
identify a window for a static service.
Note. Asynchronous terminal users can switch back and forth between block mode
and conversation mode even though the CONVERSATION attribute is configured.
