Purpose

You can use the MODIFY SESSION command to request that an NCP change the session limit (the maximum number of concurrent line scheduling sessions allowed) for a nonswitched multipoint line to one or more attached start/stop or BSC terminals. This limit does not become effective until the number of sessions now in operation falls below the new limit.
Note:
  1. The session limit should not exceed the number of devices on the line. If the line has IBM® 3270 terminals attached, the session limit should be the total number of cluster controllers and terminals on the line.
  2. This command does not activate resources. To do this, the appropriate resource must be activated (for example, by using the VARY ACT command).

Operands

procname
The procedure name for the command. If procname in the START command was specified as startname.ident, where startname is the VTAM® start procedure and ident is the optional identifier, either startname.ident or ident can be specified for procname.

If procname in the START command was startname, startname must be specified for procname.

ID=line_name
Specifies the name of a nonswitched multipoint line to one or more attached start/stop or BSC terminals.
SESSION=number_of_sessions
Specifies the session limit as a decimal integer 1–255. This is the maximum number of concurrent line scheduling sessions allowed on the line specified by the ID operand.
