AGILE 5250 ALLY User’s Guide and Reference

Suppress Form Feeds in form-based jobs: This option is similar to the Auto Form Feed suppression option, except that the 5250 ALLY starts suppression only for form-based jobs. Form-based jobs are started with s+Md and s+Nd. The Form Feed suppression mode is terminated with the job reset command: s+Xd. This setting is useful only for XDPM data streams.

Suppress Form Feeds: This option causes the 5250 ALLY to suppress all Form Feeds for data received from the twinax address. If the user sets this option, the only way to get a Form Feed to the printer is to change a character translation table to translate a printable EBCDIC character into the Form Feed character. This setting is useful in both XDPM and XPPM mode, but it is rarely used.

To program this option:

 

!AGILE!0602=00;

Do not suppress FFs

!AGILE!0602=01; Auto FF suppression (default)

!AGILE!0602=02; Suppress FFs in form-based jobs

!AGILE!0602=03;

Suppress FFs

For more information on Form Feed suppression, see the previous sections of this appendix, Auto PFS Suppression and Auto Form Feed Suppression.

0603 — Change Form Feed to New Line

If Form Feed suppression is occurring, activating this feature will change all Form Feed requests into New Lines (CR/LF).

To program this option:

!AGILE!0603=00; Do not change FF to NL (default) !AGILE!0603=01; Change FF to NL

0604 — Logical Not Commands

This option is useful for both XDPM and XPPM data streams; however it is rarely used for XPPM. This option controls how the 5250 ALLY uses Logical Not commands (¬).

Ignore Logical Not commands: This option specifies that Logical Not commands in the data stream are to be ignored, i.e., treated as printable text. This mode is very useful in debugging data streams that use Logical Not commands.
