Remote terminals, method 1—DFHTCT TYPE=REGION

The DFHTCT TYPE=REGION macro introduces information about the named region. The information consists of DFHTCT TYPE=LINE and TYPE=TERMINAL macros. These must follow the DFHTCT TYPE=REGION macro. For a remote region, the DFHTCT TYPE=LINE macro does not generate a TCT line entry (TCTLE). Every terminal that participates in transaction routing must be defined. Only certain DFHTCT macro types and operands are relevant in remote region definitions; all others are ignored. The operands that are relevant are those listed in Remote terminals, method 2—DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE.

SYSIDNT={name∨LOCAL}
Indicates the 4-character name of the system or region whose information starts or resumes here. SYSIDNT=LOCAL can be specified to indicate that the TYPE=TERMINAL definitions following it refer to the home region, as do all definitions preceding the first DFHTCT TYPE=REGION macro. The name of the home region (that is, the region in which this terminal control table is used) is the value of the SYSIDNT operand of the DFHTCT TYPE=INITIAL macro. The name can instead be that of a previously defined MRO link or ISC link.
