(1) .-PROMPT-------. >>-+--------------+-------------------------------------------->< '-NOPROMPT-----'
Notes:
- A VTAM® operator cannot enter the PROMPT or NOPROMPT start option; it can be coded only in ATCSTR00. The value coded in ATCSTR00 is ignored if start options are entered on the START command or if VTAM finds an error in a start list. Upon finding an error in a start list, VTAM prompts the operator so that the operator can specify the option correctly.
Specifies whether VTAM prompts the VTAM operator to enter VTAM start options. PROMPT and NOPROMPT can be coded only in the ATCSTR00 predefined list of start options. You cannot code PROMPT in any other predefined start option list. If you include PROMPT or NOPROMPT in a predefined list other than ATCSTR00, the option will be ignored.
If you code NOPROMPT in ATCSTR00, VTAM does not prompt the operator. If NOPROMPT appears in ATCSTR00, you cannot override it by including PROMPT on the START command or in a predefined list. Do not put NOPROMPT in ATCSTR00 unless you are sure that a VTAM operator will never want to change the VTAM start options.
Note: If start options are entered with the START command,
PROMPT is ignored.
