THE HP 262X TERMINALS [ HP Data Entry and Forms Management System (VPLUS/V) ] MPE/iX 5.0 Documentation


HP Data Entry and Forms Management System (VPLUS/V)

THE HP 262X TERMINALS 

VPLUS/V 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/V. 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/V intrinsics and comarea items as discussed in Section 6.

To use VPLUS/V 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:

     LINE IS FULL - RETURN TO CLEAR.

This message is issued by the terminal, not by VPLUS/V. It means that
there are too many characters on the line, and you must redesign and
recompile the form.

HP 2625A, HP 2628A Terminals 

To utilize the security display enhancement of these terminals, you must
specify the HP262X, HP239X Families on FORMSPEC's Terminal/Language
Selection Menu.

HP 2626A Terminal 

To utilize the security display enhancement feature of the HP 2626A, you
must specify the HP262X, HP239X Families on FORMSPEC's Terminal/Language
Selection Menu.

The HP 2626A terminal can store as many as four forms locally depending
on the size of the forms.  VPLUS/V utilizes the workspace/window feature
of this terminal and configures terminal memory into from one to four
workspaces.  Local form storage is activated and controlled by the
VPLUS/V intrinsics and comarea items as discussed in Section 6.  Only
port I of the HP 2626A terminal can be utilized with local form storage.
If you wish to run an application on port 2 of the terminal without local
form storage, the formstoresize item of the comarea should be modified as
described in Section 6 in the comarea item description.

HP 2627A Terminal 

To utilize the color display enhancement feature of the HP 2627A, you
must specify both HP262X, HP239X Families and HP2627A, HP2397A on
FORMSPEC's Terminal/Language Selection Menu.
