Creating a class

A class defines certain performance characteristics for your interactive subsystem. Follow this instruction to create a class.

To create a class that is identical to the QINTER class, enter the following command:

CRTCLS SBSLIB/INTER1 RUNPTY(20) TIMESLICE(2000) PURGE(*YES) DFTWAIT(30)
   TEXT('Custom Interactive Subsystem Class')

You can use the QINTER class in QGPL for your custom interactive subsystems, or you can create a single class to use for all of your interactive subsystems, or you can create one for each interactive subsystem.

Your choice should depend upon whether you want to customize some of the performance settings for a particular subsystem. IBM-supplied subsystems are shipped with a class created for each subsystem, with the name of the class being the same as the name of the subsystem.

If you do NOT create a class for each subsystem with the same name as the subsystem, you need to specify the class name on the Add Routing Entry (ADDRTGE) command. This is because the default for the CLS parameter is *SBSD, meaning the class name has the same name as the subsystem description.
