Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual 165
Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
Characters
Err Func key
This parameter defines the function key that interrupts the normal sequence of
a terminal and causes an Error Reply message to be returned to the host. Enter
the number of the function key to be used as the Error function key (e.g., “1” for
function key 1).
This parameter should be set to zero unless there is a system requirement for Error
Reply messages. When the Error function key is entered, the terminal abandons all
queued procedures and TESS commands and returns an Error Reply message, with
a milestone, to the host. The host must respond with a milestone acknowledge
before the terminal accepts further TESS commands.
V Match Chr
This parameter enables visible field matching and defines the character that identifies
visible field match data from the host. Field matching allows the host to pre-load
data into an entry field that is compared with the user’s input. The terminal beeps if
the entered data does not match. Visible field matching means that the data to be
matched is displayed in the entry field.
Enter the decimal value for the ASCII character from 0 to 255 that will be used by
the host to identify visible match field data. Enter 0 (zero) to disable this feature.
Note: Another method of field matching is available directly through the
TESS data stream.
H Match Chr
This parameter enables hidden field matching and defines the character that identifies
hidden field match data from the host. Field matching allows the host to pre-load
data into an entry field that is compared with the user’s input. The terminal beeps
if the entered data does not match. Hidden field matching means that the data to be
matched is not displayed in the entry field.
Enter the decimal value for the ASCII character from 0 to 255 that will be used by
the host to identify hidden match field data. Enter 0 (zero) to disable this feature.
Note: Another method of field matching is available directly through the
TESS data stream.
Upper Case
When this parameter is set to “Y”, lowercase input is converted to uppercase.
