ALTER
line-length
If line-length is set greater than zero, the join width is the smaller of either
the current window width or line-length. If line-length is less than zero,
the join width is the window width reduced by that negative amount. In other
words, a negative line-length defines the size of the right margin.
KEYSUPPRESS ON | OFF [ ,window-keys-syntax ]
temporarily suppresses the invocation of function key productions declared via the
KEYS option of the WINDOW statement. The default is ALTER KEYSUPPRESS
OFF. ALTER KEYSUPPRESS ON keeps all or selected function key script
productions from executing. For a complete definition of window-keys-syntax,
see the WINDOW statement KEYS option. For example:
ALTER KEYSUPPRESS ON, BODYSILL F1,F2;
suppresses programmatic script productions associated with function keys F1 and
F2 so they function as normal SeeView function keys regardless of how the KEYS
options on any WINDOW statements were previously declared. This option is
useful for either debugging or selectively turning off undesirable script-defined
programmatic function key productions.
LOOP ON | OFF
indicates whether the shell file specified with the SHELL option is repeatedly
executed by the SeeView interpreter. LOOP ON indicates that the shell file is
repeatedly executed and implies that at the completion of each loop a delay of
SECTIONDELAY seconds occurs before the shell file is reexecuted. LOOP OFF
indicates that the shell file is not repeatedly executed.
The default is LOOP OFF.
MENUSTATUS ON | OFF
specifies whether taskids containing menu data are displayed. (For more
information, see the STATUS statement on page 9-101.)
The default is OFF.
MSGTRACE ON | OFF
indicates that messages pushed to the free window message cache are also
written to the file defined by the ALTER TRACEFILE option.
MODEMWAIT seconds
specifies how long SeeView waits for a modem reconnection before abending
when a modem disconnect error (file-system error 140) occurs.
Specify seconds equal to 0 to indicate an indefinite wait. The default is 240
seconds.
