Establishing Conversation Attributes

For LU6.2 conversations only, you also use the UIOCB to establish conversation attributes. Conversation attributes include:

• Security information to be passed to the remote system, for example, user id (UIOUSER), and user password (UIOPASS). These fields are valid only if security is enforced on the remote system.
• Whether the conversation is basic (UIOCONVB) or mapped (UIOCONVM). In most situations, your conversation will be in mapped mode. Unmapped (basic) mode is used with remote LU6.2 logical units that do not have an application programming interface (for example, an IBM display writer), or for system level service manager programs.
• The (optional) name of the remote task (UIOTASK).

  Note: For more information about the UIOTASK field, see the Starting a Task on a Remote Logical Unit later in this appendix.
