This topic lists the device names that you can use on the TYPETERM definition.
Table 1 is a list of terminal types supported by RDO.
To use Table 1, find the family number of your device in the leftmost column (headed Terminal or System Type). Then look across at the second column (headed Units) to see if your type of units is specifically mentioned. Next look at the third column (headed Attachment) to see what device type you should use on your TYPETERM definition.

To display long lines of data, such as the 132-character lines of CEMT output, specify a default screen width of 132 characters.
If you intend to use the large buffer, you might have to specify a much larger value for IOAREALEN (see TYPETERM definition attributes). Whether you need to do this depends on whether operators are likely to modify, or enter, large quantities of data. If a terminal is used for inquiry only, or for limited data entry, IOAREALEN need not be large.
The 3614 is supported by CICS as BSC only when loop-attached to the 3601/3602 Controllers. The 3624 is supported as a 3614.
The 3690 is supported as a 3602.
WTTY is attached at 50 bps on common-carrier switched networks where the terminals supported are those interfacing through IBM® World Trade Corporation Telegraph Terminal Control with Telegraph Line Adapter.
The transmission code used is International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 (CCITT No. 2). CICS does not support autocall or automatic host disconnect via WRITE break.
These restrictions result in a full duplex message flow whereby many inquiry messages are outstanding at any one time, and the replies may flow back in a different order from that of the original inquiries. The 4700/3600 application program controlling the inquiry terminals is responsible for maintaining the protocols as well as correlating replies with inquiries, and controlling message flow to the group of terminals associated with the pipeline logical unit.
CICS
does not support automatic transaction initiation (ATI) on pipeline terminals.
