DeviceSubTypes

Define device subtypes.

Synopsis

[DeviceSubTypes]    Name=n=a^b^c^d^e^f^g^h^i

Description

The [DeviceSubTypes] section of the configuration parameter file (CPF) contains an entry for each subtype configured for this installation. Each entry has a Name, as well as nine values separated by up-arrows (^) that define a device subtype. The entries are as follows

  • (a) RightMargin— The number that represents the location of the right margin. Device output wraps at that number of characters.

  • (b) FormFeed— The ASCII code that represents a form feed on the selected device in the form #,$C(code1,code2...). This setting is used by the InterSystems IRIS® data platform command-line utilities.

  • (c) ScreenLength— The number of lines that comprise one screen or page for the device.

  • (d) Backspace— The ASCII code that represents the backspace character on the selected device in the form $C(code1). This setting is used by the InterSystems IRIS command-line utilities.

  • (e) CursorControl— The ASCII code that represents the cursor on the selected device in the form $C(code1).

  • (f) EraseEOL— The ASCII code that represents erasing the end of line characters on this device in the form $C(code1,code2).

  • (g) EraseEOF— The ASCII code that represents erasing the end of file character on the selected device in the form $C(code1,code2...).

  • (h) ZU22FormFeed— The ASCII code that represents a form feed on the selected device in the form $C(code1,code2). This setting is used by InterSystems Terminal output.

  • (i) ZU22Backspace— The ASCII code that represents a backspace on the selected device in the form $C(code1). This setting is used by InterSystems Terminal output.

Default values depend on the device type.

Examples

The following is a sample [DeviceSubTypes] section. This example wraps long lines to fit them onto the viewing page. In the .cpf file itself, each entry appears all on one line:
