START TERM Command
START TERM Command
Use the START TERM command to direct the TCP to begin executing a SCREEN 
COBOL program on one or more designated TERM objects. The TCP that controls the 
TERM objects must be running before you issue this command.
This command can be issued only to configured TERM objects. 
term-name
specifies the name of a TERM object. You can use either a single TERM name or 
several TERM names separated by commas and enclosed in parentheses.
INITIAL program-unit-name
specifies the name of the SCREEN COBOL program unit that runs on the TERM 
object when it starts.
If you omit this option, the default is the initial program unit established by the SET 
TERM command.
TERM *
starts all TERM objects in the PATHMON environment controlled by TCPs running 
in the same PATHMON environment. If option is specified, starts all TERM 
objects meeting the criteria specified.
STATE state-type
specifies the state of the multiple TERM objects. Possible values are:
RUNNING NOT RUNNING
STOPPED NOT STOPPED
SUSPENDED NOT SUSPENDED 
This command starts only those TERM objects in the STOPPED state. If you 
specify any other state, the system redisplays the command prompt; it does not 
display any output or generate an error message.
You can substitute SEL for STATE. 
START { [ TERM ] term-name 
 [ , INITIAL program-unit-name ] }
 { [ TERM ] ( term-name [ , term-name ]... ) 
 [ , INITIAL program-unit-name ] }
 { TERM * [ , option [ , option ]... ] }
option is:
 STATE state-type
 TCP tcp-name
 INITIAL program-unit-name
