Programmable VFC

•As an OCTAL number (one byte at a time) by preceding the number with the % sign.

•As a two or three character mnemonic such as BS or DC1 (see Appendix B of the Workstation Configuration manual).

•By entering the control characters with the up-arrow or circumflex character preceding the character, i.e. a backspace would be an ^H.

•By entering the actual ASCII character within single quotes, i.e. ’A’ would equate to an OCTAL %101.

Each character entered, with the exception of multiple ASCII characters within the single quote, MUST BE separated by commas. An example would be “ESC, '&16W', %101, 'ABC', BS, 13”.

NOTE: Only one byte may be specified at a time in OCTAL, thus allowing a maximum of OCTAL 377 which would place a 1 in columns 1-8.
