Connecting Terminals › Extended Attributes Support

Extended Attributes Support

If you want to specify additional attributes for your terminal connections, you can specify a parameter in the logmode definition that allows your region to send a query to a requesting terminal.

The query obtains the following information from the requesting terminal:

• Extended (seven) color
• Extended highlighting
• Field outlining
• DBCS (double-byte data streams for special language support)
• Screen size

A query is sent when X‘80’ is specified in the second position of the PSERVIC field of the logmode definition, for example, PSERVIC=X‘0280...’.
