IBM VSE/Power Generation Considerations
To generate support for binary synchronous data communications remote job
entry (BSC, RJE/XL) under IBM VSE/POWER, the program consists of defining
three macros:
POWER This macro identifies and defines the options available
under VSE/POWER including extensive local printer
control, job accounting, and shared spooling. It must
be coded, but, to support RJE/XL communications, none of
the available parameters need to be included.
PLINE This macro defines the hardware characteristics of each
BSC line being supported.
PRMT This macro defines the hardware characteristics of an
RJE/XL workstation or, in the case of RJE/XL, the
emulated hardware characteristics.
For complete definitions of these macros and parameters
and other macros and parameters available when doing a
complete VSE/POWER generation, refer to the VSE/POWER
Installation and Operations Guide.
Explanations follow for the VSE/POWER macros and
parameters necessary to fully support RJE/XL. The macros
must be defined in the order given.
POWER Macro
The POWER macro parameters are described below.
POWER This macro is required.
RJEBSC= Required default. YES
PLINE Macro
The PLINE macro parameters are described below.
PLINE Required for RJE support. One PLINE macro must be
defined for each line. VSE/POWER supports up to 25
lines.
ADDR= Xcuu
Required. This parameter identifies the address of the
RJE/XL line. This address corresponds to the address of
the line as generated in the communications controller
emulation program.
CODE= EBCDIC
Required default. This parameter identifies the
transmission line code as EBCDIC.
INTRPT= YES
This parameter indicates that the selector channel
servicing the communications controller for the line
being defined is to run in interrupt mode. In this
mode, dialed-in connections are lost if VSE/POWER gets a
time-out during the initial I/O.
MODSET= AA
Default. This parameter applies to IBM 2701 emulation
only, and to an IBM 2701 with Dual Communication
Interface and Dual Code features installed. As coded,
Interface A and Code A would be used. This parameter is
set to YES to indicate leased line operation.
SWITCH= NO
Default. This parameter indicates that this is a leased
line, not a switched line.
TIMEOUT= NO
Default. This parameter indicates that the line may
remain idle indefinitely without being dropped. A
specific timeout period of 0 to 255 minutes may be coded
here if you want the line to timeout. This parameter
corresponds with the Inactivity Timeout element in the
RJE/XL configuration file, although they do not
necessarily have to match. The side with the shorter
timeout period will cause link down in idle conditions.
TRANSP= YES
Required default. This parameter indicates that this
line has the transparency feature.
PRMT Macro
The PRMT macro parameters are described below.
PRMT Required for RJE support. One PRMT macro must be
supplied for each remote workstation. This must be
coded after all PLINE macros have been coded and must be
sequenced in ascending order by remote number.
REMOTE= nnn
Required. This parameter indicates the number (nnn) by
which the RJE/XL workstation is identified to VSE/POWER.
The acceptable range for nnn is 1 to 200.
TYPE= 3780
2780
Required. This parameter indicates the type of device
being emulated by RJE/XL. This must match the
Workstation Type element in the RJE/XL configuration
file.
MRF= YES
This parameter is required if you are doing IBM 2780
emulation and you want to transmit multiple records per
block of data.
TRANSP= YES
Default. This parameter indicates that this remote has
the transparency feature. For a POWER host to recognize
that your RJE/XL remote has the transparency feature,
TRANSP=YES must be coded in both the PLINE and PRMT
macros.
CS= YES
Required for IBM 3780 emulation. This parameter
specifies that component selection characters will be
used to specify a range of devices connected to a remote
terminal.
HFC= YES
Default. This parameter indicates the partial
elimination of blanks within a line by the use of
horizontal tab (HT) characters. The parameter is
meaningful only for IBM 2780 devices; HFC is standard
for IBM 3780 devices.
LSTROUT This parameter specifies default output destination for
list output from jobs submitted by this remote-ID. The
default is the remote-ID specified in nnn of the REMOTE
parameter.
PUNROUT= This parameter specifies default output destination for
punch output from jobs submitted by this remote-ID. The
default is the remote-ID specified in nnn of the REMOTE
parameter.
SCE= YES
NO
This parameter specifies space compression/expansion
that applies to the IBM 3780 only. If SCE is set to
YES, the TRNSP parameter cannot be used.
