TIQ Online Inquiry and Update

Each console type (MVS, CA Roscoe, TSO, and so forth) requires a driver program to handle the interface between the terminal and TIQ. For example, the driver program for the MVS console, TMSTOSTQ, is invoked by a started task, TMSOSTQ, while the driver for a TSO terminal, TMSTSO, is called from a CLIST.

Once activated, TIQ issues the following message:

System Console

Non-System Console

IEETMS1 ENTER PASSWORD

IEETMS1 ENTER PASSWORD

nn IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

The value nn is the message number of the MVS console request for input. The password must be entered. Three attempts to enter a correct password are allowed. If an incorrect password is entered, TIQ responds with:

System Console

Non-System Console

nn IEETMS1 INVALID PASSWORD

IEETMS1 INVALID PASSWORD

Once a valid password is entered, the following message is issued:

System Console

Non-System Console

nn IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

In the event a volume has been password-protected through the Data Set Security feature, any attempt to inquire on or update the volume record without providing the assigned password generates the following prompt:

System Console

Non-System Console

nn IEETMS1 ENTER VOLUME PASSWORD

IEETMS1 ENTER VOLUME PASSWORD

Three attempts to specify the correct password are allowed before the session is terminated.
