Usage

/EXCLUSIVE puts a terminal into exclusive mode. This command, without keywords, is valid from a terminal with a signed on user. The LINE PTERM and NODE keywords are only valid for output-only terminals. For a dynamically created user, the exclusive mode status is remembered across signons.

Exclusive mode restricts the output received by the terminal affected:

Except for an IMS system message responding to an error condition, all other output for a terminal in exclusive mode remains queued for later transmission. The queued output is transmitted after exclusive mode is reset with the /END command or a /START command.

In an IMSplex, if global resource information is kept in Resource Manager, the /EXCLUSIVE command sets a global exclusive status for the resource. If global resource information is not kept in Resource Manager, the /EXCLUSIVE command sets the status.

/END is used to get a terminal out of exclusive mode.

LINE PTERM
Specifies the communication line to be put into exclusive mode. The /DISPLAY LINE line# PTERM pterm# command identifies a terminal in exclusive mode.
NODE
Specifies that the static VTAM node be put into exclusive mode. This command is not valid for nodes that were dynamically created.
USER
Specifies that the dynamic user be put into exclusive mode. If the user does not exist in IMS, it and its associated LTERMs will be created to remember the exclusive status. If /EXCLUSIVE USER is issued against an existing user, the user must be dynamic.
