option. If the IN file is the same as the OUT file and the TACL process is not 
named, TACL does not set its home terminal.
A process started by TACL inherits its home terminal unless the RUN 
command that initiates the process specifies a different home terminal. 
PORTTACL 
specifies that the TACL being started is a port TACL (for example, a modem 
port for a dial-in line or an X25 connection). 
When using this parameter, the #SETCONFIGURATION option 
STOPONFEMODEMERR should be ON. The default setting for the 
#SETCONFIGURATION option STOPONFEMODEMERR is OFF. 
The relationship between PORTTACL and STOPONFEMODEMERR is 
summarized in this table. 
•
To start a TACL with the PORTTACL parameter, you must have a group ID 
of 255, regardless of the setting of the TACL configuration parameter 
STOPONFEMODEMERR. If your group ID is not 255, the TACL process 
terminates abnormally (ABENDs). It is the responsibility of the super-group 
PORTTACL STOPONFEMODEMERR Outcome
Specified ON When error 140 (FEMODEMERR) 
is encountered on its input, this 
TACL process issues a modem 
disconnect message, goes into the 
logged-off state, and waits for a 
modem connection message. 
When this message is received, a 
user can log on. The process does 
not have to be restarted.
Specified OFF When error 140 (FEMODEMERR) 
is encountered on its input, this 
TACL process ignores it and 
continues in whatever the current 
state is at the time.
Absent ON When error 140 (FEMODEMERR) 
is encountered on its input, this 
TACL process issues a modem 
disconnect message, goes into the 
logged-off state, and stops. 
Absent OFF When error 140 (FEMODEMERR) 
is encountered on its input, this 
TACL process ignores it and 
continues in whatever the current 
state is at the time.
