TACL Program
TACL Program 
Enter the TACL program name to start a TACL process on your local system or on a 
remote system (if your system is part of a network).
\node-name
is the name of the system on which TACL is to run. This parameter is valid only for 
systems that have a node name (those that are part of a network). If you omit \ 
node-name, the TACL process runs on the system from which you issued the 
TACL command.
run-option
is any of the options described in the RUN[D|V] Command on page 8-156.
backup-cpu-num
specifies the processor where the backup for the new TACL process is to run. 
Specify backup-cpu-num as an integer in the range from 0 through 15. If you 
omit this parameter, no backup process is created. You can specify a backup 
process only if the TACL process is a named process (see the NAME option of the 
RUN[D|V] Command on page 8-156).
parameter
is an operating parameter for the TACL process. It can be one of these:
ABENDONABEND
HOMETERM
PORTTACL
SEGVOL $volume-name
STOPONABEND
ABENDONABEND
specifies that this TACL process writes the message: “TACL stopped by a 
process ABEND/STOP” to the current OUT file and terminates abnormally 
(ABENDs) with an abend completion code when a child process (a process 
started by this TACL process) terminates with no completion code or with an 
abnormal completion code. 
HOMETERM
specifies that TACL is to use the device specified by the TERM run-option as 
the home terminal. If you omit HOMETERM, if the TACL IN file is the same as 
the TACL OUT file, and if TACL is not in server mode, TACL uses its IN file 
device as the home terminal, regardless of any specification by the TERM
