AGILE 5250 ALLY Users Guide and ReferencePage A-14
Xerox Options
The previous sections described the options available on the 5250 ALLY
that are used to assist the user in interfacing the host System to Xerox
printers. This section lists the specific options available and describes the
special modes invoked by these options. For more information about how
these modes can be used to help solve any specific problems, please refer
to the previous sections of this appendix.
Note: The Xerox options are used only when the twinax address or input
port is configured for IBM EMUL. As such, the numbers associated with
each option described below use the twinax code (06nn) instead of the
alternate host code (34nn). Xerox options are used for the alternate host
port only for diagnostic purposes.
0600 UDK Character Translation
This option is useful only for twinax addresses receiving XDPM /XES data
streams. The 5250 ALLYs UDK character translation option controls
whether the 5250 ALLY will perform UDK character to Escape character
translation, or whether it should let the printer do the translation.
Do not translate UDKs: This setting causes the 5250 ALLY to pass any
=UDK= character assignments to the printer and not to perform the UDK
character translation itself.
Translate UDKs: This setting causes the 5250 ALLY to perform the UDK
character translation itself instead of letting the printer do it. This is
particularly useful in resolving UDK character conflicts that can be caused
by the 5250 ALLYs dynamic data routing. In this mode, the 5250 ALLY
will not pass the =UDK= character assignment to the printer, but will store
the UDK character and translate it to s.
To program this option:
!AGILE!0600=00; Do not translate UDKs
!AGILE!0600=01; Translate UDKs (default)
0601 PFS Suppression
This option is useful for both XDPM and XPPM data streams. The PFS
suppression option allows the user to control how the 5250 ALLY
suppresses PFSs for the data it receives on the twinax address.
Do not suppress PFSs: This option tells the 5250 ALLY not to suppress
PFSs for the data stream received on the twinax address. This option gives
the host System full control over document formatting.
