- value1
- Value1 specifies the minimum size of a terminal input/output
area to be passed to an application program when a RECEIVE command is issued.
- value2
- You can specify value2 as greater than or equal to value1. In this case, when the size of an input message exceeds value1, CICS uses a terminal input/output area value2 bytes long.
If the input message size also exceeds value2, the node abnormal
condition program sends an exception response to the terminal.
If value2 is not specified, or is less than value1, it defaults to the

in the GMTRAN system initialization parameter, will be:
- Automatically initiated when the logical unit is first logged on to CICS

- Initiated after the terminal user's TIMEOUT period has expired under certain
conditions.
If you have specified ERRLASTLINE(YES), the messages written by the transaction
do not overwrite the error message line.

the characteristics of the device.
- NO
- CICS does not use the QUERY function.
- COLD
- CICS uses the QUERY function to determine the characteristics of the
device only when the device is first connected after an initial or a cold
start of CICS. The device characteristics are stored in the CICS global catalog
for use on subsequent warm and emergency starts.
- ALL
- CICS uses the QUERY function to determine the characteristics of the
device each time the device is connected.
- Receivesize
- Specify the maximum size of a request unit
that can satisfy a VTAM RECEIVE request. The RECEIVESIZE value is transmitted
to the connected logical unit, and must be in the range 0 through 30720. If you leave these fields blank, CICSPlex SM uses the default values
for your CICS environment, if there are any.
- Recnotify
- Specify how a terminal user should be notified of a system restart (in
the case of VTAM persistent sessions support) or an XRF takeover:
- NONE
- No notification is given.
- MSG
- A message is sent to the terminal screen.
- TRAN

- Recovoption
- This option applies to the recovery of sessions in a CICS region running
with VTAM persistent sessions, or with XRF.
- SYSDEFAULT
- VTAM persistent sessions: In a CICS region running
with persistent sessions support, this specifies that CICS is to select the optimum procedure to
recover a session on system restart within the persistent session delay interval,
depending on the session activity and on the characteristics of the terminal.
XRF: In a CICS region running with XRF support, this specifies
that CICS is to select the optimum procedure to recover a busy session at
takeover, depending on the session activity and on the characteristics of
the terminal.
- CLEARCONV
- Prevents CICS from sending an end-bracket indicator to close an in-bracket
session. Instead CICS sends a CLEAR request, to reset the conversation states.
If the session does not support the CLEAR request, CICS sends an UNBIND request.
The CLEAR or UNBIND is sent only if the session was busy at the time of system
restart (in the case of persistent sessions) or takeover (in the case of XRF).
- RELEASESESS
- Requires CICS to send an UNBIND request to release the active session.
The UNBIND is sent only if the session was busy at the time of system restart
(in the case of persistent sessions), or takeover (in the case of XRF).
- UNCONDREL
- Requires CICS to send an UNBIND request to release the active session.
The UNBIND is sent whether or not the session was busy at the time of system
restart (in the case of persistent sessions support) or the takeover (in the case of XRF).
- NONE
- VTAM persistent sessions: In a CICS region running
with persistent sessions support, this specifies that the terminal session is not to be recovered
at system restart within the persistent session delay interval: in effect,
the terminal has no persistent sessions support.
- Relreq
- specifies whether CICS is to release the logical unit upon request by
another VTAM application program.
- NO

for this terminal, but not when they are destined for all terminals.
- Rstsignoff
- specifies the sign-on characteristics of a group of terminals in the
event of a persistent sessions restart or an XRF takeover. It supersedes the
XRFSIGNOFF attribute, which is obsolete.
If you have a collection of terminals
in a security-sensitive area, for example, you might choose to force sign
off of those terminals after a persistent sessions restart or an XRF takeover,
to prevent the use of the terminal in the absence of the authorized user.
(This could happen if the authorized user left the terminal during the restart
or takeover, and the terminal became active again while it was unattended.)
This option works in conjunction with the RSTSIGNOFF system initialization
parameter and the XRFSOFF entry in the CICS segment of the RACF® user profile.
- FORCE
- This group of terminals will be signed off after a persistent sessions
restart or XRF takeover.
- NOFORCE

restart or XRF takeover, provided that both the RSTSIGNOFF system initialization
parameter and the XRFSOFF entry in the CICS segment of the RACF user profile
are also set to NOFORCE.
- Sendsize

the terminal is automatically signed off from CICS and then logged off from
VTAM.

set (DBCS) fields.
- NO

of the 3270 Information Display System, specify the model number of the terminal:
- 1
- Specify 1 for the 3270 Model 1 displays and printers (for example, 3277
Model 1) with a default screen or buffer size of 12x40 (480 bytes/characters).
TERMMODEL(1) is the default for 3270 Model 1 printers and displays.
Specify
1 for the 3275 Display Station Model 11. The CICS support obtained is identical
to that obtained by coding TERMMODEL(1) for 3275 Display Station Model 1.

input data, both the transaction identifier and the program data, is passed
to the program without any translation.

the length in bytes (0 to 255) of the user area for this terminal. If you leave this
field blank, CICSPlex SM uses the default values for your CICS environment, if
there are any.
