Define a Mode Control Table

To request a session with certain characteristics specify a mode name on the allocation request or a Mode Control Table (MCT) definition in the OSCT. The MCT definition specified contains an LU6.2 mode name which has associated session characteristics.

To define an MCT entry, use the DEFMODE command.

Example 1: Define a Mode Control Table

To define an MCT entry with the name LU62PARL which references the LU62PARL mode name, enter the following command:

DEFMODE MODE=LU62PARL MODENAME=LU62PARL

Example 2: Define a Mode Control Table

To define an MCT entry without the MODENAME operand enter the following command.

DEFMODE MODE=LU62PARL

The name of the MCT entry is used as the LU6.2 mode name.
