WANT-BIND-DATA
This PROFILE attribute has the possible keywords NONE, USER-DATA, or ALL. The
default value is NONE.
WANT-BIND-DATA specifies whether the information from BIND or CINIT records
should be delivered to the application, and if so, in what form. If the NONE value is
selected, the application program does not receive any notification of BIND or CINIT
data. If the USER-DATA value is selected, the application program receives only the
USER-DATA fields of the BIND or CINIT messages, where the length of the data is in
the USER-LENGTH field and text starts with the first text character. If the ALL value
is selected, the data delivered to the application includes the count field, and the
requester ID and password fields of the CINIT record.
Count fields are not converted; other fields are converted to ASCII. This option could
be used to implement a form of security. For example, if a CINIT record is expected,
the user text can be examined for passwords. If the data is unacceptable, the session
can be closed by issuing a CLOSE-SESSION or HLS-CLOSE verb.
WANT-FLOW-CONTROL
This PROFILE attribute has the value type yesno . The default value is NO.
WANT-FLOW-CONTROL specifies whether flow control messages should be
delivered to the application program. This option is also enabled when a program
issues either the flow control messages.
Note This option is not required if the application only has to send RTR messages, as is typical in applications
talking to IMS.
WANT-SSCP-TEXT
This PROFILE attribute has the value type yesno . The default value is NO.
WANT-SSCP-TEXT specifies whether SSCP text is to be delivered to the application
program. The only SSCP text currently delivered is the conventional greeting typically
sent by VTAM when the system is initiated. It is highly unlikely that this option
should be selected.
If this option is selected, SNAX/HLS will use read buffers whose size is sufficient to
accommodate the largest possible SSCP-LU message. This value is in the range 256 to
30,720 as determined by a startup parameter, SSCPTEXTSIZE, and may be modified
by the operator. Its default value is 4,096.
Large reads consume valuable Tandem NonStop Kernel resources. If this situation
pertains to your environment, you may wish to explore the use of the
TWO–STEP configuration parameter.
