Entering ASCII Control Characters
You can include ASCII control characters in a postamble or preamble by using the
TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System. For a definition of the postamble or preamble,
see Chapter 6, “Configuration Command Reference,” in the 2400 Family system
manual.
You can configure the postamble or preamble to be characters from the full or extended
ASCII character sets. For example, the Field Exit code (Ü) for 5250 terminal emulation
is an extended ASCII character that is often configured as the postamble.
Note:
For help using the 5250 Field Exit code, see the appropriate TE manual.
To enter ASCII characters for a preamble or postamble
1.
Decide which ASCII control character you want to set for the preamble or
postamble. Look up the control character in the “Full ASCII Table” in Appendix B
of the 2400 Family system manual and find the two-digit hexadecimal number. For
example, ETX in the Full ASCII Table is the hexadecimal value 03.
To enter an extended ASCII character,
look up the two-digit hexadecimal number
for the character in the “Trakker Antares
Terminal Font Set” in Appendix C of the
2400 Family system manual. For example,
Ü (the 5250 Field Exit code) has the
hexadecimal value 9A.
