Configuring Your Product › Define APPL Statements

Define APPL Statements

This task adds APPL statements to your SYS1.VTAMLST data set. The APPL statements define the following logical units to VTAM:

• CA TPX application
• Virtual terminals
• Virtual printers

The definitions allow the product to establish application sessions with virtual terminals and perform pass-through printing. The definitions are contained in the APTPX member of the CB0VSRC data set.

For a description of the APPL statements see the appendix APPL Statements.

For details on virtual terminals and passthrough printing, see the Administration Guide.

To copy the APPL statements to your SYS1.VTAMLST data set you can:

• Edit and submit the TPXAPPL member of the CB0VJCL data set.
• Copy the APTPX member of the CB0VSRC data set using the ISPF copy facility.

Using TPXAPPL

If you use the TPXAPPL member:

1. Specify the following information in the member:
   • An appropriate job card.
   • A name for the member when it is copied to SYS1.VTAMLST. You can give the member a name other than APTPX, as long as it is specified on the TPXAPPL parameter in the startup procedure.
   • Any required changes to the SYSIN data.

   The member containing the APPL statements relating to the product must include these comment lines:

   *TPX,PRIMARY
   *TPX,REBIND
   *TPX,SHARE
   *TPX,GROUP
   *TPX,UNIQUE
   *TPX,APPLPPS
   *TPX,USERPPS
   

   Each comment line must appear just before its corresponding APPL statements.

   Important! If cross-domain resources need to be defined at your site, change the condition code of the CDSC parameter on the PROC statement to 4.

2. Submit the TPXAPPL job.

   The job executes successfully with a condition code of 0.

Note: When going production, it may be appropriate to use VTAM model statements instead of those defined in the TPXAPPL member. For more information, see the Batch Administration Guide.
