	VTAM - a Whatis.com definition
		VTAM (Virtual Telecommunications Access Method) is an IBM application program interface (API) for communicating with telecommunication devices and their users.
		VTAM was the first IBM program to allow programmers to deal with devices as "logical units" without having to understand the details of line protocol and device operation.
		Programs that use VTAM macro instructions are generally exchanging text strings (for example, online forms and the user's form input) and the most common interactive device used with VTAM programs was the 3270 Information Display System.

	Connectivity Supplement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		VTAM recognizes the DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 system by checking the LU name and password (if a VTAM password is required) with the values defined in the DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 VTAM APPL statement.
		The VTAM password is used to verify that DB2 Universal Database for OS/390 is authorized to use the specified LU name on the VTAM system.
		The VTAM password is not transmitted through the network, and it is not used to connect other systems in the network to DB2 Universal Database for OS/390.

	VTAM Definition Parameters
		This is the number of buffers that VTAM acquires when expanding the buffer pool.
		Use the "PACING" field of the LU macro to determine how VTAM is to pace the flow of data from the boundary node.
		Use the "VPACING" field of the LU macro to determine how VTAM is to pace the flow of data from the boundary node that contains the PLU to the boundary node that performs pacing for the channel-attached AIX workstation.

	Front-End Programming Interface on Workstations
		If this is not the case, you can simplify the definition of the VTAM application minor node by omitting the ACBNAME keyword (which means that the margin-name--DG4FEPI1 in the example--must be the same as the FEPI node name).
		VTAM application minor node definition statements are stored collectively as one or more members of an MVS partitioned data set (usually SYS1.VTAMLST), accessed by VTAM via the VTAMLST data-definition statement in the VTAM startup JCL.
		VTAM uses the various network definitions to determine how and where to route data; it can be routed locally, cross-domain, or cross-network.

	Sybase Inc - Gateway to Mainframe Connectivity via LU6.2 / APPC
		Another reason is that VTAM is the most mature SNA platform in existence, and chances are that any mainframe installation has a VTAM system programmer experienced in setting up LU 6.2 connections.
		VTAM traces are fairly easy to obtain, as VTAM system programmers generate them frequently for troubleshooting purposes.
		If the partner with which VTAM is negotiating is not a PU type 2, then the negotiation fails and the trace stops with a negative response to the "ACTPU" verb.

	Introduction to SNA
		Generally, the NCP is responsible for managing ordinary traffic flow within the subarea, and VTAM manages the connections and links between subareas.
		Furthermore, there are control blocks describing the session in the NCP to which the client talks and the NCP to which the server talks.
		Recent releases allow VTAM to define a "prototype" PC and dynamically add new names to the configuration when devices matching the prototype appear on the network.

		VCF is a VTAM Secondary Program Operator program which can take a command (such as "D NET,ID=LINEXX"), pass it to VTAM, and receives the results, displaying them on your terminal or storing them in a file.
		While the program here takes the command from the parm passed to it, it is a trivial matter to read a series of commands from an input file.
		All VTAM commands can be executed by VCF except the "Z NET" command--VTAM will refuse to issue this command when it comes from a Program Operator program.

	RFC 1646 (rfc1646)
		For any systems which use VTAM these terms apply and are dealt with in some way by the TCP/IP to VTAM interface.
		VTAM/SNA is a hierarchical network and some of that hierarchy needs to be addressed by the TCP network attaching to it if the applications systems are to continue to provide the same applications support that they have provided to the 3270 terminals.
		Graves, Butts & Angel [Page 2] RFC 1646 TN3270 Extensions July 1994 One such out-of-band flow is the LUSTAT message which tells the application that the status of the terminal has changed, and is how a printer or screen tells the application that it is ready, or is not ready to receive data.

	CNS CICS TERMIDs and VTAM NETNAMEs
		A NETNAME must be unique within the VTAM in which it is defined.
		This implied that the VTAM administrator had to insure that not only was the NETNAME unique within VTAM, but that the last 4 characters of any NETNAME was also unique within VTAM.
		Given the increasing number of terminal definitions in VTAM which are required to support today's environment, insuring uniqueness of the 8-character NETNAME will eventually be all that is possible in VTAM.
