Contains files used by the Host Connection Program (HCON).
The /usr/lib/hcon directory contains files used by the Host Connection Program (HCON). It contains color and keyboard definition files, terminal definition files, HCON API subdirectories, AUTOLOG example scripts, configuration data base files, and the command to start the HCON subsystem.
Color and Keyboard Definition Files
The following files contain data used to define and customize the HCON color and keyboard definition tables:
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| e789_ctbl | Default binary color-definition table |
| e789_ktbl | Default binary keyboard-definition table |
The color and keyboard definition tables in the /usr/lib/hcon directory specify defaults for use by HCON emulator sessions. The hconutil command allows users to customize color and keyboard definition tables.
Terminal Definition Files
The HCON installation process creates a terminfo subdirectory in the /usr/lib/hcon directory. The /usr/lib/hcon/terminfo directory contains terminal definition files that are specific to HCON. When HCON is installed, the terminfo directory contains the following files:
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| ibm.ti.H | Terminal definitions for LFT, 5081, 3151, 3161, 3162, 3163, and 3164 terminals. |
| dec.ti.H | Terminal definitions for DEC VT100 and DEC VT220 terminals. |
| wyse.ti.H | Terminal definition for the WYSE WY-50 and WYSE WY-60 terminals. |
The terminfo binary files for HCON terminal definitions are in subdirectories of the /usr/lib/hcon/terminfo directory. Each subdirectory is named with the first letter of the terminal name. When HCON is installed, the terminfo directory contains the following subdirectories:
| Subdirectory | Contents |
|---|---|
| a | Binary terminal definition file for running within the operating system windows |
| h | Binary terminal definition files for color and monochrome LFT |
| i | Binary terminal definition files for the 5081, 3151, 3161, 3162, and 3163 terminals |
| j | Binary terminal definition file for use with operating system windows |
| v | Binary terminal definition files for the DEC VT100 and DEC VT220 terminals |
| w | Binary terminal definition files for the WYSE WY-50 and WYSE WY-60 terminals |
In addition to those delivered with HCON, the /usr/lib/hcon/terminfo subdirectory can contain customized terminal definitions.
HCON API Subdirectories
The HCON installation process creates two subdirectories in the /usr/lib/hcon directory that contain files used by the HCON API:
| Directory | Contents |
|---|---|
| mvs | API programs to use in interfacing to MVS™/TSO host systems, including the instalapi program |
| vm | API programs to use in interfacing to VM/CMS host systems, including the instalapi program |
AUTOLOG Example Scripts
The /usr/lib/hcon directory contains several example files for the AUTOLOG facility. These files are:
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| logform | Example genprof form for creating AUTOLOG procedures |
| SYStso | Example AUTOLOG script for MVS/TSO host |
| SYSvm1 | Example AUTOLOG script for VM/CMS host |
| SYSvm2 | Example AUTOLOG script for VM/CMS host |
Configuration Data Base Files
The following files contain HCON configuration information. This information is used by HCON programs, by the Object Data Manager (ODM), and by the HCON configuration commands, which are called by the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT).
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| sysdflts | HCON database system defaults |
| sysdflts.vc | HCON database system defaults |
| users | HCON users database |
Command to Start the HCON Subsystem
The sthcondmn command is used to start the hcondmn subsystem after HCON has been installed.
| Item | Description |
