pointer-3

pointer-3 points to memory block 3. The ACP uses memory block 3 to return information enabling CICS support to create a TCT entry and log the terminal on to the system.

Data Format:

01 TCT-Info. 
    03 autinstname          PIC X(8). 
    03 terminal-id          PIC X(4). 
    03 printer-id           PIC X(4).
    03 altprinter-id        PIC X(4). 
    03 status-byte          PIC X(1).

where:

autinstname: is the name of the autoinstall model to be used to create the terminal.
terminal-id: is the ID with which CICS support registers the terminal. If the ID is set to LOW-VALUES, CICS support assigns an ID automatically. CICS support terminal ids are assigned from A0000, B0000... to Z9999.
printer-id: is the printer to assign to the terminal. If set to LOW-VALUES, CICS support assigns the printer defined for the autoinstall model.
altprinter-id: is the printer to assign to the terminal. If set to LOW-VALUES, CICS support assigns the alternate printer defined for the autoinstall model.
status-byte: set this byte to LOW-VALUES to register the terminal. If set to any other value, CICS support aborts terminal registration.
