Description
PROMPT sets the type of system prompting that occurs at various points during Model 204 processing.
Valid settings of PROMPT are (options can be summed):
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| X'01' | A dummy string is displayed (prompted) if the substitution is input from your terminal. |
| X'04' | A dummy string is displayed if the substitution is from a procedure. |
| X'08' | $READ and $ENTER prompts are displayed at your terminal. |
| X'10' | "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO" prompts are not displayed at your terminal and a default response is assumed. The value of the default depends upon the operation and is the same as that assigned in a batch run or in an application subsystem. |
| X'20' | Printing of the $$ or ?? prefix for $Read prompts or dummy strings is suppressed. |
No prompting occurs if the PROMPT parameter is set to 0, even when Model 204 expects a dummy string substitution to be entered.
