echo command
Use the echo command to control the local behaviour of the CICS serial interface. Use
it to:
• display the current echo state
• switch the echo state on and off
The default setting is echo on. With echo on, any character that is typed is echoed
(mirrored) back to the screen. This corresponds to the use of full duplex mode in terminal
settings. If you have an automated system, the recommended setting for the system is
echo off, which corresponds to half duplex mode. This avoids intermixing echoes of the
commands you enter and the responses from the system.
