Creating a C ustom Parameter Set-Up File
You c an create a custom 5250 TE set-up file to pr eset almost any parame-
ter you can set from the TE configuration menus. These parameter set-
tings become the default (cold start) configuration for the terminal.
Note: F or 700 Series, CK30, CK31, CV60 Terminals with TE 2000
application versions 8.00 or greater, if a C ONFIG.DAT file is present on
your terminal, its settings are backed up in a CONFIG.OLD file, then
written i nto a TE_SETTINGS.INI file. If the CONFIG.DAT file is not
on your terminal, all settings are written to the TE_SETTINGS.INI file.
Go to page 217 for TE_SETTINGS;INI information and settings.
CONFIG.DAT Settings
Note: CHECKCFG.EXE is no longer used except for Trakker Antares
Terminals 2415, 2425, 2435A, 2455, 2475, or 248X. This information is
included for Tr akker Antares users and for those using TE 2000 applica-
tion v ersions older than 8.00 on 700 Series, CK30, or CV60 Terminals.
CONFIG.DAT Syntax
The parameter setup file is an ASCII text file that you create which gets
converted to a binary file by the CHECKCFG.EXE utility. New terminals
donotcomewiththisutilitybutitisavailablebyrequestfromthesystem
engineer; or, if you ordered the upgrade ver sion, it is included in the
TOOLS.EXE self-extracting file.
Youcannametheinputfileasyouchoose.Whenyouusethe
CHECKCFG utility later to verif y the file, you must change the output
file name to CONFIG.DAT. A field may have zero or more qualifiers.
The syntax of a line is FieldName = Value; or
Qualifier.FieldName = Value;
S FieldName is the name of the parameter you want to modify.
S Value isthenewvalueforthefield.
S Qualifier and FieldName must be ASCII strings that match one of the
configuration parameters.
S Value canbeanASCIIstringoranumericvalue,dependingonthetype
of the parameter FieldName specifies. The parameters along with their
types and allowable values are listed under “Parameters and Qualifiers”
later in this chapter.
CHECKCFG.EXE ignores blank lines, leading white space (spaces and
tabs), and white space on either side of any delimiter (period, equal sign,
or semicolon).
In addition, the set-up file converts consecutive white space characters
within strings to one space. For example, this line:
Screen Mode = Page Mode ;
isthesameas: Screen Mode=Page Mode;
