The TP_NAME parameter specifies the 1–64 character name of the transaction program that provides information about how to accept incoming Attaches and optionally start programs on the workstation. Valid characters are any locally displayable characters using the native encoding of the local system. The TP name may also refer to a service transaction program.

This parameter is required.

A transaction program (TP) is a program that uses the advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) system to communicate with a partner application program at the partner node.

Service TPs use a restricted character set for their names. A service TP name must begin with a two-digit hex value between X'00' and X'3D'. The remainder of the name must be three ASCII characters. For example, 07abc is a valid service TP name. 7abc is not a valid service TP name.
