Description

The type of system prompting that occurs at various points during Model 204 processing

Valid settings of PROMPT are (options can be summed):

SettingMeaning
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.
