ACCMETH={SAM∨BSAM∨SEQUENTIAL}
Specify SAM, BSAM, or SEQUENTIAL — they are equivalent in CICS.
INAREAL=length
Code this with the message input area length. The value should be equal to the length of the longest initial logical record of a transaction that may include multiple physical records.
ISADSCN=name
The name of the input data set. The TYPE=SDSCI DSCNAME operand for the input data set must match this.
LINSTAT='OUT OF SERVICE'
The line is to be initiated with an 'out of service' status.

The default is 'in service'.

OSADSCN=name
The name of the output data set. The TYPE=SDSCI DSCNAME operand for the output data set must match this.
TCTUAL={0∨length}
Indicates the length in bytes (0 through 255) of the user area (the process control information field or PCI) for all terminal entries (TCTTEs) associated with this line. Make it as small as possible. The TCT user area is initialized to zeros at system initialization. If you want fields of different (variable) lengths, you can specify the TCTUAL value in one or more TYPE=TERMINAL macro instructions for terminals associated with this line.
TRMTYPE=(U/R∨CRLP∨DASD∨TAPE)
Indicates the sequential device type:
U/R
Any reader or printer
CRLP
A card reader and a line printer
DASD
A direct access storage device
TAPE
A magnetic tape device
