ALTER
ECHOSUPPRESS ON | OFF
specifies whether text entered on the sill of an assigned window is echoed at the
corresponding location of the prompt in the upper output portion at that same
window. ECHOSUPPRESS OFF is the default. It indicates that text entered on the
sill of a window is echoed.
ERRORSTOP ON | OFF
tells the SeeView interpreter to stop interpreting statements when a syntax or run-
time error occurs and displays the statement where the error occurred in the
largest free window on the Help page.
The default is ERRORSTOP ON. When you set ERRORSTOP OFF, an error does
not stop the interpreter, but causes the SeeView interpreter to skip to the next
section in the current script or shell file.
FIFOPEER ON | OFF
specifies whether peer process prompts are processed in first-in-first-out (FIFO)
order or in last-in-first-out (LIFO) order. The default is FIFO off because the most
recent conversational command interpreter prompt is normally processed first.
ALTER FIFO OFF is typically used in block-mode. ALTER FIFO ON is typically
used in server-mode scripts that need to process peer process requests in FIFO
order. ALTER FIFO ON means requests are processed in the order received.
FRAMEALPHA ON | OFF
specifies whether window frames are drawn using alternate graphic characters
(FRAMEALPHA OFF) or drawn with standard ASCII characters such as |_|
(FRAMEALPHA ON).
FRAMEALPHA ON permits the SeeView program to work with some T65xx
terminal emulators that do not support alternate character sets; for example, the
T6526 terminal.
The default is FRAMEALPHA OFF for all terminal types except the T6526 terminal.
This option is set by the standard SeeShell.
FRAMEVIDEO ON | OFF
specifies whether window frames are drawn using video attributes (FRAMEVIDEO
ON) instead of alternate graphic or alpha characters (FRAMEVIDEO OFF). ALTER
FRAMEVIDEO ON allows the SeeView program to work with any T65xx terminal
emulators that do not support alternate character data. For information about how
to define the video attributes of window components such as the window heading,
body, and footing, see the FRAMEVIDEO statement.
The default is FRAMEVIDEO OFF.
