AUTOSEQ

Description

Defines the sequence of characters, or the function or attention key or lightpen, which causes IBM Session Manager to send a script to an application.

This common end-user parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), and TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement).

Format

AUTOSEQ escape [A|I|E|N scriptname]

Default: AUTOSEQ #@

Usage and subparameters

This input stream is defined for each individual key by the AUTOSCRIPT parameter. For a full description, see the section 'Using scripts with applications' in the chapter 'Post-installation configuration issues' of the Installation and Customization manual.

Note: In this document, the 0x7C (that is, x'7C') character is always presented as the @ sign. It may be displayed as a different character in some non-English code pages. You should enter the appropriate 0x7C character symbol for the code page you are using.

The escape, which must be delimited by a null or a space when issued, can be from one to eight characters long, PF1-24, PA1-3, ATTN, CLEAR or PEN.

By defining the Menu panel appropriately, using a defined input field (variable t_auto) the escape sequence can be modified dynamically. See the PANEL statement in the Panels, Scripts and Variables manual.

A|I|E|N scriptname

The optional subparameters on this statement determine the type of script to be run when the input sequence is entered:

[spacer]
