On the TPF System

For the interface to work correctly, you must ensure that the following three requirements are met on the TPF system:

The TPF system console must be running in 3270 mode.
The TPF administrator must configure the system to add a plus character (+) to the end of system messages, and also make sure that all user programs end their messages with this character. This is necessary because the TPFCON interface determines that it has reached the end of a message when it finds a plus character (+).
CA Automation Point must have control of the console. Specifically, CA Automation Point must control when a MORE… state is cleared. If something other than CA Automation Point clears a MORE…, CA Automation Point loses its place and messages can potentially be lost or incomplete. To ensure that only CA Automation Point clears a MORE.., the clear action capability must be removed from the Enter key. Then, when an operator types a command and presses Enter, the command is placed on the stack to be executed, but it will not clear any MORE… state existing at the point where the command is entered.
