Optional Modifier Descriptions
DSRTIMER affects the use of the CONTROL 17,1 and CONTROL 11 procedure calls.
(See the EnvoyACP/XF Application Programming Manual for further information on
these calls.) If DSR does not appear before this interval expires, the function
terminates with a timeout error, and data terminal ready (DTR) resets. DSRTIMER
defaults to 4 seconds. If n is specified as 0, no timeout occurs and DSR waits
indefinitely.
You can alter this modifier by issuing an SCF ALTER LINE command to the
EnvoyACP/XF subsystem, but not by using a SETMODE procedure call in an
application.
EBCDIC
Specifies the transmission code as EBCDIC.
EXTENDEDCONTROL/NOEXTENDEDCONTROL
Specifies that frames transferred on this line can have extended control fields (2 octets
long). The control field contains the numbers used for link-level sequence checking. In
a standard control field, the sequence numbers are 0 through 7. In an extended control
field, the sequence numbers 0 to 127. This modifier works with the L2WINDOW
modifier.
The L2WINDOW modifier determines how many frames can be transmitted before an
acknowledgment is received. The EXTENDEDCONTROL modifier allows the
L2WINDOW modifier to be set to 127.
Default: ASCII

Note. The TRANSLATE modifier appears when you specify the EBCDIC modifier.
Default: NOEXTENDEDCONTROL (Frames have standard control fields (one
octet).)

Range: N/A

IBMEXTENDED/NOIBMEXTENDED and L2WINDOW
Note. If you are using the SDLC protocol and you want to use extended control fields, you
must specify both this modifier and the IBMEXTENDED modifier. The IBMEXTENDED modifier
cannot be enabled unless the EXTENDEDCONTROL modifier is also enabled. See the
IBMEXTENDED/NOIBMEXTENDED
modifier description later in this section for more
information about support for the IBM implementation of control fields.
