ZTERM - Interactive Routine Interface
ZTERM Available Commands
tagp Terminal tag parameter (mrqtag)
maxtime Optional maximum runtime
apno If set this must match the ltapno field in the logical
terminal table of the terminal ZLU, otherwise no
messages will be sent on that ZLU.
If the command is issued as TVFL rather than TV then a flag message is
sent 1 second before the first data message, and on completion of the test
a t ermination message is sent to every terminal ZLU which has been
used in the test. The completion message contains the number of
messages sent to that ZLU. These messageare used by the receiving copy
of ZTERM to delimit the start and end of the test and to verify that all
messageshavebeenreceived.Thereceiverresetsit’sstatisticswhenthe
start message arrives and terminates the RV command when the e nd
message arrives.
The command optionally has a maximum runtime set in the [maxtime]
parameter. If this is zero then the command runs without a time limit,
otherwise it will terminate after [maxtime] seconds.
If the [apno] field is used then only terminal ZLUs whose logical terminal
table application number “ltapno” field matches the [apno] fieldare used.
If [apno] is not set then all terminals in the range are used.
