Startup ACL Program

Each OfficeVision/MVS Application Connectivity session must be activated with a special ACL program. The startup ACL program signs the user on to the application. After the user has been signed on successfully, the program uses a special ACL variable, &OVMVSACI, to signal the application connectivity interface to start sending data to the application. The signal to start sending data is sent regardless of how this variable is accessed in the ACL program. All that is important is that the variable is accessed by an ACL command. See the Sample ACL/E Program in this chapter for a sample ACL program that uses the COMPARE statement, since COMPARE does not change any data.
