TERMINAL INFORMATION
THE HP 262X TERMINALS
THE HP 262X TERMINALS
VPLUS runs on the HP 262X family without any special action by you (without specifying
the HP262X, HP239X Families on FORMSPEC's Terminal/Language Selection Menu)
except in the special cases noted in the following paragraphs.
To use X.25 block mode via a PAD interface, available with all HP 262X terminals except
the HP 2624A, the transmit and receive pacing must be set correctly, the appropriate
ROMS must be used, and the terminal must be strapped correctly. You must check that the
correct ROMS are used with the HP 2622A, HP 2623A, HP 2624B and the HP 2627B
terminals. The HP 262SA and HP 2628A terminals always have the correct ROMS. Also,
the correct terminal type must be used when logging on to the terminal. For more detailed
information, refer to the DSN/X.25 HP 3000 Reference Manual.
HP 2624A Terminal
To utilize the local edits and security display enhancement features of the HP 2624A, you
must specify the HP262X, HP239X Families on FORMSPEC's Terminal/Language
Selection Menu.
At run time, when using a form, you could receive the message:
LINE IS FULL - RETURN TO CLEAR.
This message is issued by the terminal, not by VPLUS. It means that there are too many
characters on the line, and you must redesign and recompile the form.
HP 2624B Terminal
To utilize the local edits and security display enhancement features of the HP 2624B, you
must specify the HP262X, HP239X Families-on FORMSPEC's Terminal/Language
Selection Menu.
This terminal also has the capability of storing as many as 255 forms locally in terminal
memory depending on the size of the forms and the memory available. Use of this feature
is activated and controlled by the VPLUS intrinsics and
comarea items as discussed in
Section 6.
To use VPLUS and local form storage on this terminal, you must alter the default
datacomm configuration menu. Change the strip NULL and DEL field from YES to NO.
At run time, when using a form, you could receive the message:
