the cics manual will tell You all You might want to know
starting from ... ( for example )
CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V3.2 Bookshelf
publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/DFHASJ00

or if that is not the CICS/TS level of Your choice, You can choose the right bookshelf here
z/OS software products bookshelves (A-DB2 UDB)
www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/zappls1.html

and ... just curious
how is this question related to SMS & VSAM ?
attention to small details is very important in IT

Hello,

Why does someone believe the program should use terminal-id?

Keep in mind that in many (most?) places terminal-ids are assigned dynamically. Static ip-addresses are less and less common. . .

If terminal id is being used to control access/functionality, this should be re-designed. . .
