Terminal Definitions for z/VM:

Type

Prefix

Example

Locally attached

GRAF plus four‑character local address

TSS ADDTO(BUDDEPT) TERMINAL(GRAF02BA)

Remotely attached VM‑controlled network terminals

NETW plus four‑character resource ID

TSS ADDTO(CORP) TERMINAL(NETW0301)

Logical devices

LDEV plus four‑character address of logical device which is arbitrarily defined.

TSS ADDTO(CORPNET) TERMINAL(LDEV1234)

VTAM/SNA

Eight‑character LU name

TSS ADDTO(FINDEPT) TERMINAL(xxxxxxxx)

Note: The four‑character address for logical devices is arbitrarily assigned by CP when a product such as VM/PASSTHRU or CA‑Vterm® requests such a device. 'LDEV' is the only practical prefix when specifying a logical device with TSS ADDTO or PERMIT.
