Overview

ZTERM provides an interactive method of communicating with the ZCOM subsystem. In particular it provides interactive access to the ZCOM Application Program Interface (API). Using ZTERM it is possible to send messages to ZLUs, read from the ZTERM program’s primary ZLU input queue, peek at the primary ZLU, and send terminal control functions to terminal ZLUs. ZTERM is primarily used for testing application programs; most of the parameters to the ZTERM commands are the same as those used programmatically in the ZCOM routine calls. Reference should be made to the information under the specific routine call for more information on the ZTERM parameters.
