DESCRIPTION

The dxsnaterm command enables a Digital Equipment Corporation workstation to emulate an IBM 3270 Information Display System. The DECwindows DECnet/SNA 3270 Terminal Emulator for ULTRIX software assigns IBM 3270 IDS functions to specific keys.

OPTIONS

The dxsnaterm command has the following options:

−aIdentifies the name of the entry in the Gateway access name table to use when connecting to the SNA network.  This option can identify values for the -A, -dd, -l, -pu, and -s options.

−AIdentifies the IBM application that will be the PLU for the DECwindows 3270 TE session. 

−cIdentifies the name of the file containing the ISO-Latin to EBCDIC translation table and the ISO-Latin to EBCDIC translation table.  If you do not specify this option, the default file /usr/lib/sna/dxsnatedef.tbl is used instead.  If this table is not available, the DECwindows 3270 TE uses built-in translation tables.  To use the built-in translation tables even if the default file is available, specify original. 

−daIdentifies user data to be sent to the IBM system as part of the SNA log-on request.  Data represents a string of ASCII characters up to 110 characters long.  Quotation marks are necessary to preserve spaces, tabs, or lowercase letters in the string. 

−kIdentifies the binary keyboard definition file that redefines your 3270 keyboard. 

−lIdentifies the name of an entry in the logon mode table defined by the host IBM system.  This entry specifies a selected set of SNA protocol options. 

−pAllows access to secured LUs.  This option is required by some versions of the DECnet/SNA Gateway. 

−prIdentifies the name of a file or local printer that receives the contents of the screen when you use the Print key function.  The default is snatprint.lis.

−puIdentifies the name of a particular physical link from the DECnet/SNA Gateway to the IBM host. 

−sIdentifies the IBM session address used to communicate with the IBM host.  Specify the session address with a decimal number from 1 through 255. 

−ttIdentifies the terminal type to be emulated.  The value can be 3192g (the default), 3279s3g, or 3270.

−wCauses the DECwindows 3270 TE software to wait for an IBM application (PLU) to initiate a session.  Do not specify a value with this option.  If you use this option, do not specify values for the -A, -da, or -l options.

−bdDECwindows option that specifies application window border color. 

−bgDECwindows option that specifies application window background color. 

−dDECwindows option that specifies which server display to use. 

−fgDECwindows option that specifies application window foreground color. 

−fnDECwindows option that specifies font to use in menu bar and associated screen objects. 

−gDECwindows option that specifies application window location using plus or minus X coordinates and plus or minus Y coordinates. 

−syncDECwindows option that enables synchronization as a debugging aid. 

−tDECwindows option that specifies alternate title for application window title bar. 

−bwDECwindows option that specifies window border width.  The DECwindows terminal emulator is not affected by this option. 

−rvDECwindows option that specifies reverse video.  The DECwindows terminal emulator is not affected by this option. 

−nDECwindows option that specifies application name.  The DECwindows terminal emulator is not affected by this option. 

FILES

/usr/lib/sna/snadwte_def.tbl - Translation table
snatprint.lis - Print file

EXAMPLES

% dxsnaterm alack -a cics17 -s 4

This command establishes a DECwindows 3270 TE session through the Gateway node called alack using the access name cics17 and the session address 4.

% dxsnaterm cliff -pu lc-1 -A cics17 -k /usr/users/jones/dxsnate_num.fil

This command establishes a DECwindows 3270 TE session through the Gateway node called cliff to the IBM application cics17 by way of the PU named lc-1. The -k option specifies the keyboard definition file created to define an alternate keyboard layout.
