Streams
266 Programming: Pipes
The VTAM stage can be used anywhere in the pipeline. If the VTAM stage has an
argument, it must be the first stage. If the VTAM stage has no argument, it cannot
be the first stage and any input stream other than DISPLAY, VARY, orMODIFY
commands causes the following message to be inserted into the output stream:
DSI071I INVALID VTAM COMMAND
The VTAM stage arranges that the same timeout and termination conditions that
are specified for a pipeline apply when running the VTAM commands at the
remote domain. The following conditions are considered transferable:
v TOSTRING
v TAKE (first)
v NLOCATE
v LOCATE
v CORRWAIT
Multiple conditions can be transferred, if no other stage intervenes.
Stream Type Number Supported
Input 1
Output 1
Termination Conditions
When specified as a first stage, the VTAM stage terminates when it finishes
processing its output. As a subsequent stage, the VTAM stage terminates when the
input stream disconnects.
Operand Descriptions
cmdtext
This is the command for VTAM. Only DISPLAY, MODIFY, and VARY are
supported.
If VTAM is the first stage, cmdtext is required.
If VTAM is not the first stage, cmdtext must not be used. The VTAM stage
extracts the first line of a message in the input stream as the command and
