ZTERM - Interactive Routine Interface

Overview

ZTERM provides an interactive method of communicating with the

ZCOM subsystem. In particular it provides interactive access to the

ZCOM Application Program Interface (API). Using ZTERM it is possible

to send messages to ZLUs, read from the ZTERM program’s primary

ZLU i nput queue, peek at t he primary ZLU, and send terminal control

functions to terminal ZLUs. ZTERM is primarily used for testing

applicatio n programs; mo st of the parameters to the ZTERM commands

are the same as those used programmatically in the ZCOM routine calls .

Reference should be made to the information under the specific routine

call for more information on the ZTERM parameters.
