TERMINAL

TERMINAL BOX_LP =(device_classes)

Specifies special recovery actions for recovering from a terminal or hung interface condition. The TERMINAL statement specifies which device classes should be boxed instead of performing channel path recovery to recover from a hung interface (or terminal condition). Box processing will override channel path recovery processing when all of the following are true:

• the device is defined on the CHPID being recovered
• either all of the device's paths are undergoing recovery or this is the only path to the device.
• the device is currently reserved or assigned.

The device classes you can specify for BOX_LP are DASD, TAPE, UREC, COMM, CTC, and GRAF. You can also specify:

• NONE to turn off BOX_LP processing for all device classes.
• ALL to turn on BOX_LP processing for all device classes. ALL is the recommended setting.

Default: (ALL)

Syntax considerations for TERMINAL

• If multiple TERMINAL statements are found, only the last valid one specified applies. All others will be ignored.
• TERMINAL statements that are found in IECIOSxx members that are activated via the SET IOS=xx operator command will be processed so you can dynamically change the setting for this value, or make the initial specification.
