Option Definition
ACS_BINARY_AREA A message of up to 128 characters that is passed to and
from the ACS.
ACS_MESSAGE_AREA A message of up to 128 characters that applications and
the ACS server use to exchange data.
ERROR_FILE The location of RSC.ERR, the RSC/MP error file.
On Windows, if the full pathname is not specified,
RSC/MP looks for this file first in the application's current
directory, then in the C: drive, then in the directories in the
PATH, and finally in the A: drive.
On UNIX, ERROR_FILE should contain a complete
pathname.
GROUP_ALIAS A name that describes a group to receive unsolicited
messages. This value does not need to be unique for a
terminal (TERM_NAME option).
HOST_ACS_NAME The name of the ACS object in the TDP that provides
access to the ACS server. This option is overridden if the
TDP configuration specifies an ACS object as the value of
the TERM attribute ACSERVER. This option overrides the
setting of the TERM attribute ACSERVER if ACSERVER
is set to a process name.
HOST_PIPENAME The name of the TDP PIPE object. This name is a
combination of the PIPE name specified during TDP
configuration and the name of the host node.
