There is a startup program which is call when the system starts its
controlling subsystems, this is done during a sucessful IPL procedure.
The location/name of the program that is called is controlled by a
system value (WRKSYSVAL  QSTRUPGM), the object defined there has to be a
valid CL-PGM. There is an IBM-supplied template for this, which you can
retrieve to have a starting point for your own self-made startup
program. (RTVCLSRC QSYS/QSTRUP, I put this source on
QGPL/QCLSRC(QSTRUP)) I usually do NOT modify this and recompile,
instead, I always leave the original from IBM in place (because of
release changes) and in the first line of my own startup PGM  I do a
CALL on this one to have the "IBM-things" done before I add on my
"specials". Like this, you never loose modifications on an upgrade of
your OS/400, you just have to change the sysval again ... How is TCPIP
being started then ? For me the code in my QSTRUPTCP called PGM is
looking like this

    PGM
    CALL (QSYS/QSTRUP)
    MONMSG (CPF0000)
    STRTCP
    MONMSG (CPF0000)
    STRHOSTSVR (RCDPCL *TCP)
    MONMSG (CPF0000)
    . . . .


    MONMSG (CPF0000) is only to avoid any messages to keep the system
from starting up correctly, because some job is waiting for an answer in
QSYSOPR  ...

Think you mentioned Mocha client before...

go to the terminal settings, there is a field "Display name" which is
initially empty. You just put any name in here you want to be used as
your session name when the AS/400 automatically creates that device. Of
course, these names must be unique per system, otherwise you cannot
connect.
