Operating the transceiver from a computer
Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 407
If you are using multiple addresses with a CICS command, you must enter the addresses
within quotes, for example, ‘A12,B45@*CALM’.
With Group Selective addresses, the length of the combined address can be no longer
than 12 ALE words, excluding commas. An ALE word has 3 characters. There can be no
more than five different first ALE words in the combined address.
For example, an address of BOB1,BOB2,BOB3,BOB4,TIM,JOHN,MIK,SUE has
five different first ALE words, that is, BOB, TIM, JOH, MIK and SUE. However, this
address will be rejected because it has a total of 13 ALE words, that is, BOB, 1, BOB, 2,
BOB, 3, BOB, 4, TIM, JOH, N, MIK and SUE.
ALE call options
When you make a call through CICS you can specify whether or not to override the
global settings for the transceiver at the time of the call. For information on the correct
syntax see Table 68 on page 446.
