Customizing 3270 Emulation
Customizing Sessions
A name of up to eight characters to identify this
session. It must not match any other session long name
you use, and (if only one character long) must not
match the session ID of any other session (see the next
parameter). Lowercase characters are converted to
uppercase automatically.
Session ID
A one-character identifier for the session using any
character in the range (A–Z). This identifier must not
match any other session ID or any one-character long
name.
An entry in this field is required if the session is to be
used for running HLLAPI applications or
command-line file transfer; otherwise, it is optional. A
session ID typed in lowercase is converted to uppercase
automatically.
The session can be activated when running in the
background only if it has a session ID assigned. For
more information, see “Running 3270 Emulation in the
Background”.
If you started the TN3270 emulation program with the
-h option to override one or more session IDs, this field
is not selectable (for all sessions) and cannot be
changed. It shows the session ID you specified on the
command line for this session, if it is in the range A–Z,
or an asterisk ( * ) otherwise. However, the original
session ID from the style file is preserved if you save
the style file; the command-line session ID only
overrides this for a particular run of the program and
cannot be saved.
Host screens suppressed at startup
Mark this check box to suppress display of the host
screen when the session is started. Some HLLAPI
applications may require this option; instead of
displaying the host screen, they manage their own
screen display. Leave the check box unmarked if you
will not use this session with HLLAPI applications or if
the application you use does not require it. If you mark
this check box, you must also specify a session ID for
the session.
