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