SET TERM
AUTORESTART number
specifies the number of times that the PATHMON process attempts to restart the
TERM object within a fixed 10-minute interval after an abnormal termination
causes the TCP to place the TERM object in the SUSPEND-ABORT or a
SUSPEND-RESUME state. This state does not result from a normal ABORT, STOP,
or SUSPEND command.
number can be a value from 0 through 32,767. If you omit this attribute, the default
is 0.
After an abnormal termination, the action caused by this option is equivalent to
using a PXMCOM ABORT TERM command followed by the START TERM
command.
AUTORESTART does not affect TERM objects during the interval between normal
SUSPEND and RESUME operations, and does not apply to devices using programs
that were started through the PXMCOM RUN PROGRAM command.
BREAK { ON | OFF }
specifies whether the TCP accepts the Break key function for its terminals running
in conversational mode.
If a process is running as a terminal emulator, the value for this attribute always
defaults to OFF.
If you omit this attribute, the default is OFF. This attribute is effective only for
terminals running in conversational mode.
ON
directs the TCP to accept the Break key function. If the TCP is executing a
SCREEN COBOL program in conversational mode, the terminal operator can
press the Break key to prematurely terminate ACCEPT and DISPLAY
statements. If the terminal operator presses the Break key while the TCP is
executing a DISPLAY statement, the terminal output stops and the DISPLAY
statement is terminated normally with the special register TERMINATION-
SUBSTATUS set to 1. If the Break key is not used, TERMINATION-
SUBSTATUS is set to 0 after the completion of a DISPLAY statement.
If the terminal operator presses the Break key while the TCP is executing an
ACCEPT statement that is coded with an ESCAPE ON ABORT clause, the TCP
stops accepting terminal input and terminates the ACCEPT statement without
changes to the working storage section. Pressing the Break key has no effect on
the TCP when the ACCEPT statement is coded without an ESCAPE ON
ABORT clause. If the TCP is not executing either of the preceding statements,
pressing the Break key has no effect on the TCP process.
OFF
directs the TCP to ignore the Break key function.
