Session Name

The Session Name entry field allows you specify a one-letter session short name. If you don't specify a name, then this name defaults to the first 3270/5250 host session listed when you run ESLFields using the List Sessions option.

It is helpful to specify this name when ECS is configured for more than one 3270/5250 terminal emulation session.

You can select any combination of checkboxes.  In general, the Field Summary section should provide all the field information you need to develop an ESL application.
