Usage Notes
SYS
USR
Privilege Class: G
Use TERMINAL CNTL to allow CP or an application program to insert TTY
line-control characters into your TTY terminal output.
SYS
USR
determines whether CP or the application is to insert the TTY line-control
characters. SYS specifies that CP inserts TTY line-control characters into output
directed to a TTY terminal. USR specifies that the application program inserts
TTY line-control characters into output directed to a TTY terminal.
1. TERMINAL CNTL may be issued from a TTY device only; otherwise, an error
message is issued.
2. If you specify USR, both TERMINAL TYPE and TERMINAL PROMPT must be
set to TTY. If TYPE and PROMPT are not TTY and you select USR, TYPE and
PROMPT are forced to TTY. These options cannot be changed while CNTL is
set to USR, or an error message is issued. The setting remains as TTY.
3. TERMINAL CNTL has no effect if an application issuing the CMS WRTERM
macro does not specify either the EDIT=NO or EDIT=LONG parameters on the
macro.
4. CNTL is set to SYS when you first logon. Reconnecting does not affect the
CNTL setting.
5. For more information, see “Usage Notes” on page 1573.
