Description

The maximum input line length

For most devices, Model 204 overrides the initial setting or the default value of INMRL and uses the INMRL value set by the Model 204 MODEL parameter value. If MODEL is reset to accommodate an alternative screen size within the 3270 terminal family, the value of INMRL changes accordingly.

INMRL is meaningful when an I/O device is initialized. Therefore, a RESET INMRL command has no effect.

If INMRL is being reset for User 0 input, it must be reset with the parameters passed by the operating system when Model 204 is invoked.

INMRL is typically set on the user's parameter line. It can be specified only for the following devices:

IODEV	Access method/device type
3	BSAM
7	SNA Communications Server 3270
11	Remote User Language thread (full screen)
19	VTAM or TCP/IP (Horizon SQL thread)
29	Remote User Language thread (line-at-a-time)
37	SNA Communications Server 3767 and NTO Note: The IODEV=37 setting is no longer supported as of Model 204 version 7.7.
39	IUCV User Language thread (line-at-a-time)
45	CMS (line-at-a-time) console
49	VTAM or TCP/IP (Horizon RCL thread)
