52 — Page Resetting

When this option is activated, the 5250 ALLY will reset all formatting option parameters at the beginning of each page sent to the printer (i.e., all PFSs required for correct formatting of the page are resent to the printer). The use of this option is necessary only if the user mixes System commands with printer commands in the data stream, an action strongly discouraged by AGILE. If the user mixes command types in the data stream, this option will ensure that incorrect formatting will occur over no more than one page at a time.

To program this option:

!AGILE!52=00; Do not reset formatting each page (default)

!AGILE!52=01; Reset formatting each page

53 — Underlining

This option determines how the 5250 ALLY will perform underlining. Underling can be activated either with an SCS Word Underscore command or an SCS Begin Underscore command. The occurrence of a character- backspace-underscore character or a text-Carriage Return-underscore character sequence in the data stream will also initiate underlining.

If the printer accepts a command to begin underlining, the command should be entered in PFS 27, and the user should select choice 00.

If the printer does not have a command to begin underlining, the 5250 ALLY can still make the printer underline by sending underscore characters in a second pass of the printhead. In this instance, the user should select choice 01.

To program this option:

!AGILE!53=00; Underline with PFS 27 — UNDL ON

!AGILE!53=01; Underline with underscore character

54 — Orientation

If the 5250 ALLY receives a Set Text Orientation command from the System, the System command will be used to orient the page, subject to modification by the user configuration of this option. Portrait orientation indicates that the page height is greater than its width; landscape orientation indicates that the page width is greater than its height.
