Table 4-1. AUTOHOLD Settings
AUTOHOLD ON AUTOHOLD OFF
AUTO Window freezes whenever it is full,
regardless of how many messages are
waiting to be displayed.
The window freezes only if there are
enough messages in a group queued to
cause later messages in the group to wrap
past the line on which the first message in
the group is displayed.
If the number of messages queued for
display does not cause the first message
in the group to be overwritten, the
message display pauses for the roll-time
delay interval and then automatically
wraps to the top of the window.
AUTOHOLD OFF/AUTO is the default
setting when you enter OCS.
NOAUTO Same behavior as above. When
AUTOHOLD ON is in effect, the
AUTO/NOAUTO toggle has no effect.
The window never freezes, regardless of
the number of messages being sent to it.
Messages roll by continuously, paused
only by the roll-time delay interval.
Whenever a window freezes, the AUTO HOLD holding-mode message is displayed.
Whenever extra messages arrive at a frozen window, the MSG QUEUED message is
displayed. From any frozen window, press the ENTER key to cause message output
to continue: messages wrap to the top of the window, overwriting earlier messages
until the message display area fills again.
To toggle between AUTOHOLD ON and AUTOHOLD OFF, issue the AUTOHOLD
command with no operands; by default, the F6 (PF06) function key is defined to issue
the AUTOHOLD command. Toggling between AUTOHOLD ON and AUTOHOLD
OFF does not affect the AUTOHOLD AUTO/NOAUTO setting.
If you enter the AUTOHOLD command with no operands while the screen is frozen,
AUTOHOLD OFF is assumed. All queued messages are displayed with the flow of
messages, pausing only for the roll-time delay interval each time the window is filled.
After all queued messages are displayed, the window behaves according to the current
AUTO/NOAUTO setting.
The AUTOHOLD command is described in detail in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS
Command Reference Manual.
