Configuring Dummy Terminals for Future Expansion

If desired, you can configure dummy TERM objects so that you can add new terminals

later without rerunning PXMCFG. You define such TERM objects by omitting the

FILE attribute (which specifies the terminal device or process name) in the SET TERM

statement. The resulting TERM objects cannot be operated on by any PXMCOM

commands except INFO TERM and CONTROL TERM.

When you are ready to define additional terminals, you issue PXMCOM CONTROL

TERM commands with the FILE attribute to assign the new device or process names to

the dummy TERM objects. After you have assigned the device or process names, you

can issue START commands to activate the TERM objects.
