Associating an Autotask with Selected Logical Terminals

Associating an Autotask with a Logical Terminal

You associate an autotask with a logical terminal using the AUTOTASK parameter of the system generation LTERM statement. This statement allows you to specify whether a task will be initiated automatically for the logical terminal:

• AUTOTASK IS NULL, the default, indicates that no task will be initiated automatically for this logical terminal. Logical terminals defined as printers must use the default value NULL.
• AUTOTASK IS task-code specifies the system will execute the specified task code automatically.

  The task code specified must be defined in the system dictionary with the system generation TASK statement. The task must be defined with the NOINPUT option because a terminal autotask should execute immediately.

Example

To associate LTERM LT12012 with the task code ORDERS, submit this information to the system generation compiler:

ADD LTERM LT12012 VERSION 1
  AUTOTASK IS ORDERS
  ENABLED
  PRIORITY IS 0
  PTERM IS PT12012.
