not displayed. The terminal output resulting from the last input stream item (that
is, input) is always displayed.
When full-screen login fails
If a 3270 user attempts to log in to CICS with a full-screen connection and none
is available, the user might be prompted to use the line-at-a-time interface.
Whether or not this prompt is issued depends on the configuration of the full-
screen interface. If so prompted, the user can also select an alternate channel
name for the line-at-a-time interface.
If the interface responds with any other message, control automatically returns
to CICS. Refer to the Model 204 Messages Manual for a detailed description of
CICS interface messages.
Disconnecting
To disconnect from the CICS interface, follow these steps:
1. Log out of Model 204 in the usual way by entering either:
LOGOUT
or:
LOGOFF
Model 204 acknowledges the command as shown in the preceding
chapters.
2. If full-screen 3270 CICS support is available, control automatically returns
to CICS. Otherwise, to end the CICS transaction, enter:
*DISCONNECT
The interface releases the connection and displays the message:
MODEL 204 CONNECTION TERMINATED
M204 TRANSACTION ENDING; RETURNING TO CICS
Control then returns to CICS.
