Preparing Host Screens for Pass-Through
On the screen to be sent through the terminal serial port, the word PASSTHRU (in
capital letters) must appear on the first line, starting on the second column. The
actual data to be sent to the terminal may start anywhere below the first line.
With 5250 or 3274 emulations, attributes occupy a position in the screen buffer. An
attribute placed between column 2 and the end of the word “PASSTHRU” will
‘push’ all following characters one position to the right. Therefore, any required
attributes should occupy column 1 of the first line (just preceding the word
“PASSTHRU”).
Example:
where @ is an attribute.
When the 9150 is finished sending the data to the terminal’s printer, it will send an
ENTER key to the host. The host must wait for the ENTER key before sending any
more screens (including other PASSTHRU screens) to this terminal.
Note: Refer to the Terminals User Manual for information about setting
parameters on the terminal for pass-through.
Procedures
If this parameter is enabled, the host may send TESS procedures through the 9150
to the terminals. A TESS procedure is a group of TESS commands that can be exe-
cuted by the TESS execute procedure command.
Local
If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to provide pages to be loaded
as local TESS procedures in the terminals.
The local procedures are selected from a menu at the terminal. The terminals can
perform these procedures when they are offline. Later when the terminals are online,
they send the results of these functions to the host.
