3270 Programmer’s Guide IBM Related Functions 4. IBM 3270 Related FunctionsSpecial Settings This chapter describes those FSL Functions specifically related to the requirements of the IBM 3270 system. SCS command related Functions, Functions which need to be stored and where powering off and on the converter is needed to inform the controller about the functionality, IBM RPQs and Intervention Required Timer (IRQ). Some of the 3270 related functions are normally controlled from the front panel on an IBM 3268/87 or an IBM 4214 printer. On the IBM 3287/3268/4214 printers, it is also possible to change the following front panel settings via the line (in LU1 mode only). Lines per inch (LPI): 3,4,6 or 8 LPI Characters per inch (CPI): 10,12,15,16.7 CPI Maximum Page Length (MPL) Maximum Print Position (MPP) The converter may be set up to emulate this control via the line on your printer. LPI can be selected either by Function Y2, LPI, or by the SCS command SLD. CPI can be selected either by Function Y3, CPI, or by the SCS command SPD. MPL can be selected either by Function Y5, Form Length or by the SCS command SVF. MPP can be selected either by Function Y6, Maximum Print Position or the SCS command SHF. The settings emulating the front panel settings on an IBM 3287/3268/4214 printer is the value stored in Function 2,3,5 and 6 which will be the actual value at power on. The IBM 3270 datastream also comprises attributes which can be used for selecting underscore, colour and APL. For underscore selected by attribute, please refer to the FSL (D62071), PCL (D62030) or XES (D62067) specific manuals as - 22 -
