How Your Product Accepts Terminal Connections

When a request for a terminal connection is made to your product, the following process occurs:

  1. The logon exit is driven.
  2. The logon exit examines the session parameters to determine the terminal type.
  3. If the connection is accepted, the session parameters are modified, if necessary, and an OPNDST macro is issued. A BIND request then flows to the terminal. A CLSDST macro is issued if the request is rejected and information about the reason for the failure is sent to the terminal.
  4. The terminal receives the BIND and if the parameters contained therein are suitable, logon proceeds and the session is established.
