Special Characters

• Type 1 End-of-record character. This character terminates

the read, but is not included in the data returned to the program

doing the read or the actual count of characters. The end of record

(EOR) character is optional.

• Type 2 End-of-record characters. When this character is

conﬁgured, the read is returned with a special status that indicates

that the read was terminated by the additional end-of-record

character. The character is included in both the data and the actual

count of number of bytes returned. The terminal cursor is not

affected. The end of record (EOR) character is optional. Up to sixteen

type 2 end-of-record characters may be conﬁgured.

• Subsystem break characters. Subsystem break allows you to

interrupt the execution of a local program or subsystem command.

The subsystem break character is optional.
