TCP SETMODE Functions and 
CONTROL Operations
As a Pathway application programmer, you might need to know the Guardian operating 
environment SETMODE functions and CONTROL operations used by the TCP. This 
section describes the TCP’s use of SETMODE functions and CONTROL operations.
The Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual provides full descriptions of all 
SETMODE functions and CONTROL operations. For programming information about 
the SETMODE and CONTROL file-system procedures, refer to the Guardian 
Programmer's Guide, the Enscribe Programmer's Guide, and the relevant data 
communications manuals.
Table 9-1
 describes SETMODE functions and CONTROL operations that the TCP 
executes on terminal files when performing the indicated actions.
SETMODE Functions
SETMODE is used to set device-dependent functions.  When you design an intelligent 
device support (IDS) requester to communicate with a front-end process (FEP), you are 
concerned with the SETMODE functions described in Table 9-2
.
