TERll1INAL L TNEDEL
LINEND ESCAPE TABCHAR {
ON } OFF ::har defines the logical line delete symbol. If ON is specified,
the default symbol becomes the logical line delete symbol.
The default symbol is normally ¢, but depends on what is spe::ified in your VM/370 directory entry. If OFF is
specified, no logical line delete symbol is allowed. If char
is specified, then that character becomes the logical line
delete symbol. The character chosen should be unique and not
common to the data stream being entered. When you log on,
LINEDEL ON is in effect; if your virtual machine is logged on by the system operator via the AUTOLOG command, LINEDEL OFF is
the default. }
char
defines the logical line end symbol. If ON is specified, the
default symbol becomes the logical line end symbol. The
default symbol is normally #, but depends on what is specified
in your VM/370 directory entry. If OFF is specified, no
loqical line end symbol is allowed. If char is specified, then
that character becomes the logical line end character. The
character chosen should be unique and not common to the data
stream being entered. When you log on, LINEND ON is in
effect; if your virtual machine is logged on by the system
operator via the AUTOLOG command, LINEND OFF is the default. } char defines the loqical escape character. If ON is specified, the
default symbol becomes the logical escape character. The
default symbol is normally", but depends on what is specified
in your VM/310 directory entry. If OFF is specified, no
loqical escape character is allowed. If char is specified,
then that character becomes the logical escape character. The
character chosen should be unique and not common to the data stream being entered. When you log on, ESCAPE ON is in
effect; if your virtual machine is logged on by the system
operator via the AUTOLOG command, ESCAPE OFF is the default. } char allows a user to define a variety of logical tab characters on graphics devices. The QUERY TERMINAL command displays the current loqical tab character. ON sets the loqical tab character to the one used by the
system. OFF sets the logical tab character to X'OO'. char defines the logical tab character to be used by the
system internally. It may be any valid special graphic
character. When an invalid character is specified, an error
message is issued to the terminal and the logical tab character remains unchanged.
158 IBM VM/370 CP Command Reference for General Users

{ON } OFF APL faN } 10FF TEXT TERMINAL
controls the typing of a masking line at a typewriter terminal
that is not equipped with the print inhibit feature, when a
password is to be entered. If MASK ON is specified, VM/310 types the masking line. If MASK OFF is specified, the masking
line is not typed and it is up to each user to preserve the security of his password. The MASK operand does not apply to the 3215 Console Printer-Keyboard or to similar system
console or display terminals that do not have a print inhibit
feature. Unless otherwise specified, MASK OFF is in effect.
controls the use of APL character translation tables. If APL ON is specified, CP uses the translation tables applicable to
display stations equipped with the APt hardware feature and
typewriter terminals equipped with the standard APL typinq
element. APL ON also applies to the 3161 terminal equipped
with the APL alternate character selection. If APL OFF is
specified, CP uses the normal translation tables (that is, B:O or correspondence code). Unless otherwise specified, APL OFF is in effect. If APt is on, TEXT is forced off.
1. This operand is valid only for 3217 terminals.
2. Tf the TERMINAL APL ON command is issued from a terminal
that is not equipped with APt keys, or if the virtual
macbine is DOt runninq APL when the command is issued,
the results are unpredictable.
If APL ON is specified, the LINESIZE value is overridden (see
the explanation for the LINESIZE operand, below).
controls the use of Text translation tables. If TEXT ON is
specified, CP uses the translation tables applicable to display terminals equipped with the appropriate Text hardware
features= If TEXT OFF is specified, CP uses the normal
translation tables. Unless otherwise specified, TEXT OFF is
in effect. When TEXT ON is specified, APL OFF is forced. MQtg: This operand is valid only for 3211 terminals.
ATTN {
ON } OFF controls siqnaling of an attention interrupt. If ATTN ON is
specified, the exclamation point is displayed when an
attention interrupt occurs. The OFF option suppresses the aisplaying of the exclamation point (!) and carrier return for
those systems that perform special line editing using the
attention key. Unless otherwise specified, ATTN ON is in
effect.
Note: The ATTN operand is terminals ..
not valid for aisplay type
