Terminal entries for remote systems or regions can be defined to CICS using
the DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE macro as an alternative to defining them using DFHTCT
TYPE=TERMINAL macro instructions in conjunction with a DFHTCT TYPE=REGION
macro.
The expansion of the DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE macro is independent of the region
currently referenced.
Note: If the SYSIDNT operand indicates that the
home region owns the
terminal, all the operands of the DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL macro become valid
on the DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE macro and have the same meaning as for TYPE=TERMINAL.
However, if (as is normally the case) the SYSIDNT operand indicates a remote
region, the additional operands of DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL are valid on the DFHTCT
TYPE=REMOTE macro, but are ignored. (For details of the DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL
macro, see
Sequential devices and
TCAM—DFHTCT TYPE=SDSCI, LINE, TERMINAL.)

- ACCMETH=access-method
- Code this with the
access method of the remote terminal.
- RMTNAME={name-specified-in-TRMIDNT∨name}
- Specifies the 1-
to 4-character name by which the terminal is known in the system or region
that owns the terminal (that is, in the TCT of the other system). If
this operand is omitted the name in the TRMIDNT operand is used.
- SYSIDNT=name
- Specifies the name
of the system or region that owns this terminal. The name must be the same
as that used in the SYSIDNT operand of a previous TYPE=SYSTEM macro, or the
TYPE=INITIAL macro.
- TRMIDNT=name
- Specifies the 1-
to 4-character name by which the terminal is known in this system (that
is, in the local system that owns this TCT, and that owns the transactions).
- TRMTYPE=terminal-type
- Code this with the
terminal type. For details, see Sequential devices or TCAM—DFHTCT TYPE=SDSCI, LINE, TERMINAL.
