EPI ENABLE—Activate a Virtual Terminal

The EPI ENABLE command activates a virtual terminal by issuing a VTAM OPEN ACB request. This command also determines whether external products can acquire this virtual terminal.

EPI ENABLE has the following format:

ADDRESS EPI "ENABLE keywords"

{termname|ALL|*}

termname

Defines the name of the virtual terminal that you want to enable. You can only enable terminals that were defined through the DEFINE command previously, and you must define the virtual terminal name (the VTAM application ID) to VTAM.

ALL

Instructs EPI to try to enable all defined virtual terminals that currently are disabled.

*

Enables the current terminal defined through the SETTERM command.
