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.
Note: The Procedures parameter must also be enabled for Local to work.
Host Print
When this parameter is enabled, the host can send extra data to the terminal’s
screens, and instruct the terminal to print it. This is in contrast to the Local Print fea-
ture, where the terminal makes the initial print request.
The text that is passed to the printer is formatted into the 24 x 80 application screen.
If the host can initiate the print operation, the text is printed. The 9150 identifies the
additional text as a print page by the presence of the word “PRINT” (in capital let-
ters) beginning in the 2nd column of line 13 on the 24 x 80 screen. The word
“PRINT” should be defined as display-only text.
The print page is positioned below the terminal’s display page (see Figure 6.6 on
page 169). The size of the print page is always the same as the terminal’s display
page (assuming that in the terminal’s configuration, the page length is less than 12
lines).
When Host Print is enabled, the 9150 passes the print page to the terminal after
receiving the application screen from the host.
