Using MAI Functions › Change the Skip Character

Change the Skip Character

MAI searches for the skip character to identify session commands.

Your system administrator defines a default skip character that is valid for all sessions displayed on the session list of the MAI : Primary Menu. The .Sc command, described in this section, enables you to change the skip character for an application where the default skip character conflicts with an application command. This command is issued from within the selected session application and skip characters can vary from session to session. The skip character change is removed when you end the session, and the skip character reverts to the default when you next open the session.

To change the skip character for a selected session, issue the .Sc command.

.

Is the current skip character.

c

Specifies the new skip character.
