You must specify a storage class on a GETMAIN request. On a FREEMAIN
request it is an optional parameter, and any value that you specify is not
checked by CICS.
SUSPEND(YES|NO)
specifies whether to suspend your request if there is less storage available than
you have asked for on the GET_LENGTH option.
TCTTE_ADDRESS(name4 | (Ra))
specifies the address of the terminal control table terminal entry (TCTTE). On
GETMAIN requests, you must code this option if, on the STORAGE_CLASS
option, you specify a class of TERMINAL. On FREEMAIN requests, you must
code it if you are freeing TERMINAL-class storage.
Note: Before obtaining TERMINAL class storage, check TCAFCI bit 7 to
ensure that the TCA is running under a terminal.
name4
The name of a fullword containing the address
(Ra) A register that points to the TCTTE.
