Use the CICS RDO Feature

The RDO (Resource Definition Online) feature of CICS allows users to use an online transaction, CEDA, to define terminals to CICS, starting at r1.7 of CICS. For CICS/ESA 3.1 and beyond, VTAM terminals must be defined using RDO, and cannot be done using the old DFHTCT macros. In general, for each DFHTCT operand, there is an equivalent CEDA parameter. You must create both a TERMINAL definition, which contains information specific to a particular terminal, and a TYPETERM definition, which contains generic information common to most terminals of a particular type.
