pluname
is a character string that satisfies the following criteria:
It must contain from one through eight characters.
The first character must be either alphabetic (A through Z) or one of the special
characters (@,#, or $).
Each of the second through eighth characters must be alphanumeric (A
through Z, and 0 through 9) or a special character (@,#, or $).
When a logon request is received, SNAX Creator-2 searches for an application
name containing either the PLU name set for the SU or (if no SU PLUNAME is set)
the PLU name in the Program Start Request received from the access method.
firstword
is also a character string. The string C- pluname - firstword can be no more than
40 characters in length. firstword is used only when NAMERULE FIRSTWORD
is specified for the SU.
When a logon request is received, SNAX Creator-2 searches for an application
name suffixed by the first character string of the logon user data (up to a blank,
comma, or end of data).
If the user data is empty or begins with a comma, firstword is omitted, and the
application name becomes C- pluname.
Example
Suppose SNAX/APN is the access method, and no SU PLUNAME has been set.
Consider the following logon data stream:
LOGON APPLID (PWY) DATA ('PATHWAY NAME \SYS2.$PATHY,
PROGRAM MYPROG')
If the naming rule is PLUNAMEONLY, SNAX Creator-2 searches for an application
named C-PWY.
If the naming rule is FIRSTWORD, SNAX Creator-2 searches for an application named
C-PWY-PATHWAY because the first word in the user data is PATHWAY.
