ALTER
SHIFTPRODUCTION string-exp 
defines a global default shift production to be applied to any subsequent WINDOW 
statement declarations. For example:
ALTER SHIFTPRODUCTION "CALL ShiftHandler"
causes subsequent WINDOW statements to be declared with a shift production 
equal to “CALL ShiftHandler”. When you press Shift-Return, that production is 
executed. This action associates a general purpose production with subsequent 
WINDOW declarations in the current environment. 
Use ALTER SHIFTPRODUCTION “” to reset the global definition.
ASCII8 ON | OFF 
performs a “setmode 23” set character size. The ON option sets the character size 
to 8 bits. OFF sets the size to 7 bits. The default setting is OFF.
The ASCII8 ON option provides multinational language support for extended ASCII 
as specified by ISO 8859/1. This option used in conjunction with the TRANSLATE 
statement supports a variety of 8-bit character sets. 
Each time ASCII8 is altered ON or OFF, a TRANSLATE INITIALIZE operation is 
automatically performed. 
Set the terminal character size configuration to 8 (ON) or 7 (OFF) when the ALTER 
ASCII8 setting is ON or OFF. 
AUTOLOGOFF minutes 
causes the SeeView program to automatically log off when no function keys have 
been pressed for the specified time interval. To enable this option, specify a 
nonzero time in minutes. For additional information regarding logon and logoff, see 
the GOODBYE and HELLO statements.
The default values is zero (0). If you do not specify the option, the feature is not 
enabled.
BOLDLINE25 ON | OFF 
specifies that line 25 messages, which are also stored in the free message cache, 
are highlighted in reverse video (BOLDLINE25 ON). 
The default is ON. If you do not specify the option, the feature is enabled. That is, 
line 25 messages that are written to cache are highlighted with reverse video.
CACHEFILTER ON | OFF 
specifies whether interprocess messages received by SeeView from user tasks are 
filtered. CACHEFILTER ON filters out all illegal non-ASCII characters such as 
communications and terminal control characters. 
The default is ON, and it is the recommended setting.
