SUMMARY
=======

Configuring a 3270 LU to use compression can only be done using SNA Manager.
Customers that rely on SNA Server's command-line utility to configure their SNA
subdomain are not able to configure this parameter. There have been requests to
allow that parameter to be changed using SNA Server's command-line interface.

SNA Server's command-line interface (Snacfg.exe) has been enhanced so it is now
possible to configure 3270 LUs to support "Compress" and "Workstation secured."

The syntax is:

  SNACFG LU luname /COMPRESSION:{ Yes | No } /WORKSTATIONSECURE:{ Yes | No }

MORE INFORMATION
================

This feature is available in the latest service pack for SNA Server version 4.0.
