1588 z/VM: CP Commands and Utilities Reference
tells CP to display the HOLDING status when the terminal screen is full and
highlighted output appears on the screen. To have CP display queued output,
clear the screen manually by pressing the CLEAR or PA2 key. ON is the initial
setting when you log on the system.
OFf
tells CP not to display the HOLDING status when the terminal screen is full and
highlighted output appears on the screen. You do not have to clear the screen
manually. CP still switches the screen status to HOLDING if you enter a null
command when the screen is in the MORE... state.
1. The TERMINAL HOLD command will give you an error message, HCP006E, if
you enter it on a TTY device.
2. If you modify the HOLD value to something other than the default value of ON
and reconnect to a SNA terminal controlled by a VTAM Service Machine that
does not support the TERMINAL HOLD command, message HCP2556I is
issued to inform you that the HOLD value has changed back to ON.
3. If you specify a HOLD value of OFF on a SNA terminal controlled by a VTAM
Service Machine that does not support the TERMINAL HOLD command,
message HCP006E is issued.
4. See “TERMINAL MORE” on page 1593 for information on how to change the
number of seconds that elapse between the time when CP:
v issues the MORE... state and sounds the terminal alarm
v sounds the alarm and clears the screen.
