Rocket 204 - Teletypes (IODEV = 29); Output Parameters; Pausing and Canceling Output

CICS Interface 51
Teletypes (IODEV = 29)
If you press PA2, Model 204 prompts with:
COPY SCREEN (Y/N)? Y WITH PRINTER ID = xxxx
You must enter the 4-character terminal identifier that has been assigned to the
selected printer. If you enter an invalid printer ID or enter three consecutive null
responses (press Enter three times without keying any data), the interface
displays:
PRINTER ID INVALID - RE-ENTER COPY SCREEN (Y/N)?
Y WITH PRINTER ID = xxx
If you answer Y, the interface prompts again for the printer ID. If N, the interface
continues to the next page, ignoring the previous print request.
Teletypes (IODEV = 29)
This section summarizes the information needed to use Teletypes and
compatible terminals operating under CICS.
Output parameters
As soon as the Model 204 connection is made, certain output conventions are
established for Teletypes, and compatible terminals. The CICS interface sets
the parameters in Table 4-5 to the default values shown.
Pausing and canceling output
At the end of each page of output, the CICS interface pauses to allow you to
interrupt Model 204 or to cancel the current request if too much output is being
received. The CICS interface indicates that it is in pause mode by displaying
the question mark (?) prompt in the first five positions of the next line on the
terminal.
Valid user responses are:
• Enter the letter C (cancel), followed by a carriage return. The current
request or operation is canceled, and Model 204 is then ready to accept
terminal input from the user.
• Enter a carriage return or any other character (except C). The interface
goes on to the next page.
