There are common features of profiles screens that you can use to create, edit and delete profiles.

The following is an example of the screen displayed for the new PLId entry SLAN-56A9D3EE6B27-0426. The parameters shown are the default settings derived from the DEFAULT item in the NETWORK file.

Note

1. To display a help message, enter ? at the information prompt. To leave a field unchanged press RETURN. To null a field enter a backslash (\).

2. Setting Logon Timeout to 0 with Immediate Disconnect set to N causes the circuit to be maintained indefinitely. These two options are only effective when logon is achieved via the database logon prompt (initially set to Logon please:). If this prompt is not displayed at logon, it is also not displayed on logging off and disconnection from the database is immediate.
