Changes to resource definition

CICS® no longer supports BTAM terminals, even indirectly. Thus you can no longer define BTAM terminals, even as remote resources.

CICS no longer supports local TCAM terminals. Therefore the following resource definition macros can no longer be used to define local TCAM terminals:
  • DFHTCT TYPE=SCSDI
  • DFHTCT TYPE=LINE
  • DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL
It is still possible to define remote TCAM terminals. You can do this using either of the following:
  • A single DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE macro.
  • A DFHTCT TYPE=REGION macro, followed by a DFHTCT TYPE=LINE and a DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL macro. CICS uses only the remote attributes of the DFHTCT TYPE=LINE and DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL macros.
