Session types
Before you can define an application, you need to decide how you want sessions with that application to be established. CL/SuperSession offers three methods for establishing sessions with applications.
| PASS | A PASS (VTAM CLSDST PASS) type session transfers control to the selected session. This option does not use virtual terminals. After the target session is logged off, the user is returned to the main menu. Because CL/SuperSession does not maintain control of the session, as such, product features like triggers and messaging are not available to users of PASS(ed) applications. |
| MULTI | As the name implies, you can run more than one MULTI type session at a time. In addition, CL/SuperSession features, such as triggers and messaging remain available always. This option uses virtual terminals. |
