Custom Application Considerations

If you are using a Pathway version prior to C31, when starting SCREEN COBOL
programs using the PATHCOM RUN PROGRAM command, you must specify
TYPE IBM-3270:n (where n is the terminal model).
The following is an example of the PATHCOM command for Pathway versions prior
to C31:

The terminal attribute PRINTER IS-ATTACHED is not supported and should not be
specified in a PATHCOM ADD TERM command.
Custom Application Considerations
The following application interface considerations apply to user-written applications:

The application must use Control-11 and Control-12 procedures for session
management.

Windows are implicitly in the ITI mode when added. The application must issue a
SETMODE 8,1 procedure to place the window in CRT mode.
