Asynchronous Terminals and Printer Processes Programming Manual

TERMINAL I/O

Conversational Mode Characteristics

In conversational mode, ATP6100 and TERMPROCESS accept characters

as they are entered by the terminal operator. When read

termination occurs, data is passed to the application. After

read termination, a sequence that controls line spacing can be

sent to the terminal. Table 2-4 summarizes the SYSGEN modifiers,

CMI attributes, and CONTROL and SETMODE parameters that affect

conversational mode.
