Telnet INTERPRET function supports all functions provided by the VTAM® INTERPRET definitions. See
z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference for macro details. The following macro instructions
are used to create an INTERPRET table:
- INTAB indicates the beginning of the INTERPRET table.
- LOGCHAR defines a single logon message and name of an application
program.
- ENDINTAB indicates the end of the INTERPRET table.
Below are some of the more common rules to consider when coding
a new INTERPRET table. Also, see the sample found in SEZAINST(EZBTPINT)
as a guide.
- The LOGCHAR APPLID= supports APPLICID, ROUTINE and USERVAR.
- Code the most restrictive, or longest, LOGCHAR SEQNCE values
first. Otherwise, unexpected matches can occur. The table is scanned
from top to bottom until a match is found whether or not it is the
most exact match. For example, assume sequence 'LOGA' is assigned
APPL1 and any other 'LOG' sequence is assigned APPL2. If sequence
'LOG' is before 'LOGA', entry 'LOGA' will never be found even when
the user enters 'LOGA' because entry 'LOG' will be the first match.
All sessions will go to APPL2. The problem is corrected by putting
'LOGA' before 'LOG' in the table.
