AGILE 5250 ALLY User’s Guide and Reference

Auto UDK termination

The 5250 ALLY also allows multiple XES commands to occur on one line of text from the host System, even if those commands normally require line endings. The 5250 ALLY understands the XES command set, and it will insert the line endings for any commands that require them.

An example:

Input to 5250 ALLY:

sx20,200,5sx40,400,5d

Output from 5250 ALLY:

sx20,200,5d

sx40,400,5d

In the example above, when the 5250 ALLY encountered the second UDK character, it automatically terminated the previous UDK command. This termination was provided only because the previous command (sx — line draw) requires a line ending termination. If the previous command does not require a line ending termination, none will be inserted.

This feature does not require any special mode to be entered; it is part of the natural behavior of the 5250 ALLY. There is no limit to the number of commands that can be placed on a single line, except that the line length limit (MPP — Maximum Print Position) must not be exceeded. This feature can be useful in reducing the number of lines of text required to encode a data stream, and it can be used to eliminate the requirement for FF suppression for some less complex documents.

Line Feed vs. Relative Movements

When the 5250 ALLY is emulating an IBM printer, it normally uses relative vertical movements to simulate the line spacing requested by the System. This behavior has several advantages over set-line-density-then- line-feed type vertical movement methods:

1.Line density is under direct System control regardless of the font selection. This is the same behavior as the IBM printers that the 5250 ALLY emulates.

2.Use of this method allows the reduction of line spacing to 70% of the System requested value during COR (Computer Output Reduction) jobs. This is the same as IBM printers.

3.The System controls line density using either 1/72-inch units or
