Description
This is a bitmask parameter with the following meanings for the bits:
- X'01'
- Enable MODEL 6 support (Terminal MODEL 6 support). Model 6 support allows terminals with essentially arbitrary numbers of rows and columns, making it easier to better utilize a workstation's screen size.
- X'02'
- Always issue a Write Structured Field Query for terminals connecting to Model 204 through VTAM. This allows Model 204 to dynamically determine the screen geometry of any terminal connecting to it through VTAM, without having to issue a RESET MODEL 6 command. The downside of this setting is that it could add a small amount of time to the initial connection process and a slight amount of extra network traffic.
If a terminal is using a non-standard screen geometry via model 6 support, the Model 204 editor and command line will correctly use the available screen space. Many UL/SPF subsystems such as SirScan, SirMon, and SirPro will also take advantage of the additional available screen space.
