FEPI property set definition attributes

Provide the following information, as appropriate:

Name
Specify a 1- to 8-character name for the FEPI property set definition.

Begin Session
(Optional.) Specify the name of the transaction that will perform begin-session processing, immediately after a session has been established. If this option is omitted, there is no user-supplied begin-session processing.
Contention
Specify what is to happen when an EXEC CICS® FEPI SEND command is issued and there is inbound data with begin-bracket. The options are:
LOSE
The EXEC CICS FEPI SEND command fails; an EXEC CICS FEPI RECEIVE command must be issued to get the inbound data.

The EXEC CICS FEPI SEND commands succeeds; inbound data is rejected with a negative response.
Device
Specify the LU mode and the device type that is to be simulated. The options are:
End Session
(Optional.) Specify the name of the transaction that will perform end-session processing, either when a conversation is ended or when a session is to be ended. If this option is omitted, there is not user-supplied end-session processing.
Exception Q
Specify the name of the transient data queue to which pool-specific exceptional events are to be notified. If this option is omitted, there is no used-supplied exceptional event queue processing.
FJournalNum
(Optional.) Specify the number of the journal where data is to be logged, in the range 1 (the default) through 99. If the value is 0 (zero) or omitted, no journaling is done.
FJournalName
(Optional.) Specify the name of the journal where data is to be logged. If the value is omitted, no journaling is done.
Format
Specify, for SLU2 mode, the data mode to be used. The options are:
FORMATTED
Formatted operations. Character attributes are not supported on outbound data and ignored on inbound data.
DATASTREAM
Data stream operation.
Initial Data
Specify whether initial inbound data is expected when a session is started. The options are:
NOTINBOUND
No inbound data is expected.
INBOUND
Inbound data is expected.
MAXFlength
Specify the maximum length of data that can be returned on any FEPI RECEIVE, CONVERSE, or EXTRACT FIELD command for a conversation, or that can be sent by any FEPI SEND or CONVERSE command for a conversation. This value helps FEPI use storage in a mor efficient manner, so should be set no larger than necessary. It must be in the range 128 through 1048576. If this value is omitted, the default value 4096 is used.
MsgJrnl

INOUT

STSN
(Optional.) Specify the name of the transaction to be started to handle ‘set and test sequence number’, for SLU P mode only. If this value is omitted, there is no user-supplied STSN handling; FEPI handles STSN automatically.
UnSolicited Data
(Optional.) Specify the name of the transation that will handle unsolicited data. If no transaction name is specified, there is no user-supplied processing of unsolicited data. FEPI treats unsolicited data as specified in the InSolicited Ack field. The UnSolicited Data and UnSolicited Ack fields are mutually exclusive.
UnSolicited Ack
(Optional.) Specify the acknowledgement FEPI is to give if there is to be no unsolicited data processing. The options are:
NEGATIVE
Negative response X'0813'; BID is not accepted.
POSITIVE
Positive response, BID is accepted and subsequent data is accepted and discarded.
If this option is omitted, unsolicited data is handled by the transaction specified in the UnSolicited Data field. The UnSolicited Data and UnSolicited Data Ack fields are mutually exclusive.
