TERM Commands

SET TERM Command
not specify a term-subtype value, the TCP determines the device type from a
call to the file-system DEVICEINFO procedure.
If a program unit for an intelligent device does not specify a term-subtype value
in the TERMINAL IS clause or a term-subtype value is not specified in this
attribute, a default value is used rather than the value obtained from the file-system
DEVICEINFO procedure.
Considerations
•
If a SCREEN COBOL program is running on an incompatible terminal type, the
results can be unpredictable depending on the terminal type. For example, the
results are unpredictable when a program compiled for an IBM 3270 terminal is
executed on a 6530 terminal (although the TCP does not prohibit this execution).
Unpredictable results can also occur when a program compiled for a 6520, 6530,
or conversational-mode terminal is executed on a 6540 terminal that is defined as
a 6530 terminal emulator (term-type of 6:0).
•
If you repeat a SET TERM command with a different attribute value than the one
entered with an earlier SET TERM command, PATHCOM uses the last value
entered for the TERM attribute.
•
The TCP opens terminals with a syncdepth of 1.
Examples
The following SET TERM commands define a subset of the TERM attributes:
SET TERM AUTORESTART 4
SET TERM DISPLAY-PAGES 6
SET TERM FILE $T6530
SET TERM INITIAL MAINMENU
SET TERM TCP TCP-1
SET TERM INSPECT ON (FILE $TERMY)
SET TERM TYPE 4:0
