Entering ASCII Control Characters
You can include ASCII control characters in a postamble or preamble by using the
TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System. For a definition of the postamble or preamble,
see Chapter 9, “Configuration Command Reference.”
You can configure the postamble or preamble to characters from the full or extended
ASCII character sets. For example, the Field Exit code (Ü) for 5250 terminal emulation
is an extended ASCII character that is often configured as the postamble. For a list of the
full and extended ASCII characters, see Appendix B, “Full ASCII Charts,” or the
TRAKKER Antares Terminal Emulation User’s Guide.
Note: For more help on using the 5250 Field Exit code, see “Auto-Advancing Through
Fields on 5250 TE Screens” in the TRAKKER Antares Terminal Emulation User’s
Guide.
To enter ASCII characters for a preamble or postamble
1. Decide which ASCII control character you want to set for the preamble or
postamble. Look up the control character in the Full ASCII Table in Appendix B and
find the two-digit hexadecimal number. For example, ETX in the Full ASCII Table is
the hexadecimal value 03.
To enter an extended ASCII character, look up the hexadecimal number for the
character in the “TRAKKER Antares Terminal Font Set” in Appendix C. For
example, 9A is the hexadecimal value for Ü, the 5250 Field Exit code.
2. Use the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System to configure a preamble or
postamble. From the Main Menu, choose Configuration Menu.
3. From the Configuration Menu, choose Terminal Menu.
