Intrinsics 

The meanings of some parameters of the OPEN3270and  ACQUIRE3270intrinsics
vary depending on the IMF product you use.

IMF/3000 

The syntax of the IMF/3000  ACQUIRE3270 and OPEN3270 intrinsics is as
follows:
____________________________________________________________________
|                                                                  |
|        ACQUIRE3270 ( confile, devicenum, ldev, enhance, priority,|
|                      blanks, format, flags, result)              |
____________________________________________________________________

            
___________________________________________________________________
|                                                                 |
|        OPEN3270 (devicenum, confile, flags, terminalid, devtype,|
|                  ffindex, screensize, timeout, result)          |
___________________________________________________________________

            

The  devicenum parameter specifies a specific device number on the IBM
3271 Cluster Controller that IMF/3000 emulates.  This device number,
which must be an integer from 0 through 31, must correspond to an
equivalent specification in the IMF/3000 configuration file ( confile). 

The  confile parameter indicates the name of the configuration file
IMF/3000 uses.

SNA IMF 

The syntax of the SNA IMF  ACQUIRE3270 and OPEN3270 intrinsics is as
follows:
_______________________________________________________________________
|                                                                     |
|        ACQUIRE3270 ( snalnkinfo, devicenum, ldev, enhance, priority,|
|                      blanks,  format,  flags, result)               |
_______________________________________________________________________

            
______________________________________________________________________
|                                                                    |
|        OPEN3270 (devicenum, snalnkinfo, flags, terminalid, devtype,|
|                  ffindex, screensize, timeout, result)             |
______________________________________________________________________

            

The SNA IMF snalnkinfo parameter replaces the IMF/3000 confile parameter.
SNA IMF does not have an IMF configuration file; instead, SNA IMF
references an LU class and an SNA node name.  You must configure both the
LU class and the node name in the Node Management configuration file that
was specified in the  SNACONTROL START command used to bring up SNA IMF. 

The SNA IMF devicenum parameter specifies a device type:  -2 for LU.T2
terminal emulation, -1 for LU.T1 printer emulation, or -3 for LU.T3
printer emulation.  The LU class (specified in the snalnkinfo parameter)
is a group of available LUs that may be used to emulate a device.  For
example, you can configure an LU class for IBM 3278 display stations and
an LU class for IBM 3287 printers.
