Line-editing characters
When Model 204 is being run in line-at-a-time mode, all the line-editing
characters supported by z/VM can be specified. Refer to the z/VM: CMS User’s
Guide for a summary of these characters.
Table 6-5 lists the defaults for the z/VM logical line-editing symbols.
The user can define special line-editing characters for a particular virtual
machine. Use the z/VM CP QUERY TERMINAL command to determine
characters in effect for a virtual machine, and the CP TERMINAL command to
change characters. In the following example, the line-end character is reset to
slash (/):
CP QUERY TERMINAL
LINEND #, LINEDEL ¢, CHARDEL @, ESCAPE " TABCHAR ON
CP TERMINAL LINEND /
Model 204 provides its own line-editing characters, defined as parameters,
some of which are the same as those used by z/VM.
Table 6-6 lists the Model 204 parameters that affect line editing.
