SETMODE Procedure
Exchange/RJE System Procedure Calls
5–30 104698 Tandem Computers Incorporated
If a user-library file name is specified, Exchange/RJE passes the phone
number directly to the user-exit procedure; it does not parse the number to
remove parentheses, hyphens, blanks, or slashes.
If you are using an ACU, Exchange/RJE removes parentheses, hyphens,
blanks, and slashes before passing the telephone number to Envoy, which in
turn passes the telephone number to the automatic calling unit for dialing.
The special characters vertical bar (|), equal sign (=), and the less-than symbol
(<) have the following meanings when included in the telephone number:
| Specifies a pause in dialing. The duration of the pause is specified during
system generation.
= Has the same meaning as the vertical bar (|).
< Specifies the end of the telephone number. The end of the telephone
number must be specified in many European telephone systems, but it is
not specified in North American telephone systems.
If you specify this parameter for a leased line, you receive error message 312.
If you require manual dialing, you may specify either 0 or 1. If you specify 0,
your program should send a message to the operator’s console requesting the
operator to dial the telephone number. If you specify 1, Exchange/RJE composes
the message to the operator and includes the telephone number you supply in the
WRITE call following this SETMODE call.
SETMODE Function 42
Specifies the parameters that control a send operation (calls to WRITE or
WRITEREAD). You call SETMODE function 42 to set the parameters that control a
send operation. The following section lists the parameters you can set. You must call
SETMODE function 42 before the first write of a SEND operation.
param1 .<12>
controls the transmission of data as transparent text. This parameter applies to
both ASCII and EBCDIC data communications lines. However, while
Exchange/RJE allows the use of transparent text with ASCII data communications
lines, IBM 2780 and 3780 terminals do not support the use of transparent text with
ASCII data communications lines.
This field can have the following values:
0 NOTRANSPARENT
If you specify NOTRANSPARENT and TRANSLATE, the data is transmitted
as normal text. Whether the data is translated or not depends on how the data
communications line was defined during system generation. If the line was
defined as an EBCDIC line, the data is translated from ASCII to EBCDIC
before it is transmitted. If the line was defined as an ASCII line, the data is not
translated before it is transmitted.
