Use VTAM Modeling in VTAMLST Member

Because VTAM allows APPL statements to be modeled using wildcard characters in the name field and the ACBNAME parameter, a large number of virtual terminals can be defined to VTAM with one model statement in the VTAMLST member.

CA TPX, however, must know about every possible virtual terminal used at startup to allocate control structures for them. A batch job is provided that lets you use the modeled VTAMLST definitions as the source for generating the list of virtual terminals. For details, see the Batch Administration Guide.
