VMS Help SET, TERMINAL, Qualifiers, /INQUIRE *Conan The Librarian |
Sets the device type when the /INQUIRE qualifier is specified
and the DEC_CRT characteristic is set. The SET TERMINAL command
reads the current screen size from the terminal and sets the
corresponding page length and page width values appropriately.
The default device type is UNKNOWN. Works only on DIGITAL
terminals, and not on LA36 or VT05 terminals. Some VT100 family
terminals, including the VT101 and VT105, return a VT100 type
response. LA38 terminals respond as LA43 terminals.
NOTE
The SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command works correctly on DIGITAL
supplied VT100 and later terminals. Some personal computer
terminal emulators may not work correctly, because they
do not correctly emulate all VT100 escape sequences. HP
recommends that users who experience problems with these
terminal emulators contact the terminal emulator supplier.
You can include the SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command in your
LOGIN.COM file to detect the terminal type automatically.
If you specify /INQUIRE=OLD, OpenVMS sets the terminal window
to 24 lines by 80 columns and ignores the real terminal size.
(This is the behavior of the SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command prior
to OpenVMS Version 6.2.)
CAUTION
This qualifier clears the type-ahead buffer. If the response
sequence is unrecognized, no action message or error message
is displayed. The /INQUIRE qualifier should be used only on
DIGITAL terminals; however, the LA36 and VT05 terminals do
not support this feature.
