EPI TYPESEC—Simulate Typing without Displaying in OPSLOG

The EPI TYPESEC command simulates typing at a 3278 keyboard without writing the typed text to OPSLOG. For example, you can use the TYPESEC command to keep passwords from appearing in OPSLOG.

EPI TYPESEC has the following format:

ADDRESS EPI "TYPESEC keywords"

{termname|*}
{text}

termname

Defines the terminal to which you are sending text.

*

Sends the text to the current virtual terminal.

text

Defines the text to be sent to the external product associated with this virtual terminal. This text combines literal text that is enclosed in single quotation marks, such as the text of a command, and the names of keys on the 3278 keyboard, such as Enter.

Note: For more information on using the TYPESEC command, see the User Guide and the Command and Function Reference.
