Signon models

You can use signon model terminal definitions to override the terminal characteristics provided by the logon models. Signon models can provide a greater variety of screen sizes and options than available with the default logon models.

For example, if the default screen size specified in the logon model was 24 by 80, but some applications require 27 by 132 screens, then you can specify an alternate screen size through a signon model.

Like logon models, signon models are defined in the Stage-1 IMSGEN macros used for your IMS system. There is no limit set to the number of 3270-type or SLUTYPE2 signon models which can be used by CM VT. Signon models can be used as logon models.

You can customize the Signon Exit sample routines to return the name of a signon model. It is your responsibility to ensure that signon models exist for each model that the Virtual Terminal Signon Exit sample routine can specify.

The actual logon model name is not changed; only its characteristics are modified to match the new model.
