INTEGRATING APPLICATIONS
Including Optional Commands
You can also add commands that define and control terminals of
the terminal type determined when the applications were
generated. To do this, add the following command for each
terminal defined for the PATHWAY system:
• SET TERM FILE filename
This command defines the system name of a terminal to be added
to the PATHWAY system. Set the value of filename to the name
of the terminal.
• SET TERM INITIAL program-unit-name
This command defines the SCREEN COBOL program unit that the
terminal enters on start-up. Set program-unit-name to the
name of the SCREEN COBOL menu program appropriate for the
terminals. (This is the same as the program name following
the INITIAL specification in the SET PROGRAM TYPE command.)
• SET TERM tcp
This command defines the TCP that controls the terminal.
Generally, you can set the value of tcp to ENABLE-TCP.
• ADD TERM termname
This command enters a description of a terminal into the
PATHWAY system. In this command, termname can be the name of
the terminal. The name must begin with a letter and can
contain 1 through 15 alphanumeric characters or hyphens. The
name must be unique within the PATHWAY system.
The PATHCOM file generated by ENABLE allows you to define up to
five terminals per TCP. (The number of terminals that can be
defined is determined by the value established by the SET PATHWAY
MAXTERMS command and the value established by the SET TCP
MAXTERMS command.)
After you establish your PATHWAY system, you can use separate
obey files to start and stop the appropriate terminals. Figure
11-6 shows a sample obey file that starts a TCP and a terminal
named "term01."
