TERMNLS - Terminals summary

The TERMNLS view shows summarized information about currently installed terminals. TERMNLS is a summary form of the TERMNL view.

Availability

The TERMNLS view is available for all managed CICS® systems.

Access

Issue command:
TERMNLS [terminal [netname [INSERVICE|OUTSERVICE|GOINGOUT]]]

Where the parameters are the same as those for TERMNL (see TERMNL - Terminals).

Select:
TERMINAL from the OPERATE menu, and TERMNLS from the TERMINAL submenu.
Summarize:
Issue the SUM display command from a TERMNL or TERMNLS view.

The TERMNLS view looks like the TERMNL view shown in Figure 139 with one addition: the Count field. This field appears next to the CICS System field, and indicates how many resources were combined to form each line of summary data.

By default, the view is summarized by CICS system. If you place the cursor on a field of data and issue the SUM display command, the view is summarized by the data in that field.

Action commands

Table 275 shows the action commands you can issue from the TERMNLS view. These action commands affect all of the resources that were combined to form the summary line of data. The overtype fields are shown in Table 276.

The action commands and overtype fields for the TERMNLS view are available for all managed CICS systems for which TERMNLS is valid, except as noted in Table 275.

Table 275. TERMNLS action commands
Primary command Line command Description
n/a ACQ Acquires a terminal (VTAM only).
n/a CAN Cancels automatic initiation descriptor (AID) queuing for a terminal.

CAN is available for CICS Transaction Server for OS/390, Version 1 Release 3 and later systems.

n/a DSC Discards a terminal from the CICS system where it is installed. The terminal must be out of service before it can be discarded.

Available for systems running the CICS TS for OS/390.

n/a FOR Takes a terminal out of service and sets its PURGETYPE value to FORCEPURGE, so that transactions associated with the terminal are purged immediately.
n/a PUR Takes a terminal out of service and sets its PURGETYPE value to PURGE, so that transactions associated with the terminal are purged normally.
n/a SET Sets a terminal attribute according to the new value you specify in an overtype field (see Table 276).
Note:
The value you specified in the Require Set field on the CICSPlex® System Manager entry panel determines whether or not you must use the SET command when you overtype a field.
