Description

Valid settings for this parameter depend on the type of terminal and access method used (as shown below).

The value of TERMOPT is restored to the value set on the CCAIN user parameter line when the user logs out.

SettingMeaning
0 No options in effect; the bell is used as a prompt.
1 The question mark (?) rather than the bell is used as a prompt.
2 No pause occurs at end-of-page.
4 Using the Break key on input cancels the current output or request.
8 The read initial sequence on hard-wired terminals is not required. Read initial requires that the terminal be turned off and then on.
16 Five idles rather than three (the default) are used for each output line.
32No idles are included in output lines.
64 Line drop error recovery is handled by Model 204 (applies only to threads connected through COMTEN control units).
128 No end-of-block characters are transmitted by Model 204.
