SNAplus2 RJE Console Program
Using the Console Program
Chapter 5124
20,000 bytes of information is received from the host, some of the data
will be lost. When you move forward past the lost data, the message DATA
LOST displays to indicate this.
You can specify the maximum amount of console data that is saved by
specifying the console_log_size option in the define_minor_options
record in the RJE style file.
The SNAplus2 RJE console uses twofiles that have stored console output
from the host. Output is toggled to these two files. When the length of
one file exceeds the maximum length, the other file initializes. Output is
then written to that file. By default, the maximum size of the files is
approximately 10,000 bytes each. (This limits the total amount of data
that can be viewed by the RJE console to 20,000 bytes).
This maximum length can be changed by setting the console_log_size
option to a value of up to 1000000000. This sets each console file to one
billion bytes. Therefore, the minimum allowable value is 10000 (ten
thousand bytes), and the maximum allowable value is 1000000000 (one
billion bytes).
If the value you specify is not in this range, an error message will be
logged, and the console file length will default to 10,000 bytes.
You can enter host commands whether the console is in browse mode or
in follow mode. However, commands and the host responses to them are
always added to the end of the available console information. This means
that in browse mode, they will not be visible on the screen until you move
toward the end of the file. If you need to see the screen display of a
command and the host's response as soon as you issue it, return to follow
mode by moving to the end of the available console information.
While you are using the console program, your screen may become
corrupted if other processes write to it, or if characters are lost due to
line transmission problems. To redraw the screen, you can use the
keystroke CTRL-R. This does not affect any command data you have
entered.
Exiting Temporarily to the HP-UX Command Prompt
To move temporarily from the console program to an HP-UX command
prompt, leaving the console program running, use the Tempexit
keystroke, CTRL-Z . The prompt RJECON (RJE console) displays,
reminding you that you are in a temporary exit shell from the console
program.
